PINETTE, Caroline E. RN, BSN Age 28, of Wakefield, passed away peacefully on May 24th, surrounded by her loving family and friends, after a long and courageous battle with adrenal cancer. She is the beloved daughter of Carole and Jay Pinette and cherished "sissy" of Kathleen Pinette. She was predeceased by her grandpa and "Nana P.," Jim and Betty Ann Pinette of Arlington and her "Papa" Martin/Matty Long of Wakefield. She is survived by her "Nana L." Eleanor Long of Wakefield, as well as a large and loving extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and many lifelong friends from Wakefield, St. Anselm College and Ellison 14 at MGH. Cherished Godmother of Evey Bromwell and Harry Ochs. The family is deeply indebted to Caroline's "Team Pinette" at the Mass General Cancer Center for their dedication and caring: Dr. Phil Saylor, NP Erica Meneely, Dr. Aaron Hoffman, Dr. Ted Hong, Dr. Carrie Lubitz and Dr. Alex Faje, as well as the dedicated clinical and support teams at the MGH Yawkee and Termeer Centers. Caroline's life should not be defined by the illness that she fought so bravely for almost five years. It should be defined instead by the love and compassion that she showed to her family, her friends and her patients at Mass General. She was loved and will be sorely missed by so many. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions in Caroline's honor are made to her ACC research fund at the University of Michigan. The "Sweet Caroline Research Fund" is fund # 331574 and may be found at https://leadersandbest.umich.edu/find/#!/search It was vitally important to Caroline that a cure for this insidious disease is found. Visitation for relatives and friends will be held at the McDonald Funeral Home, 19 Yale Ave., WAKEFIELD on Tuesday, June 1st from 4-7 pm. Her Funeral Mass will be held at the Saint Joseph Church, 173 Albion Street, Wakefield on Wednesday, June 2nd at 10 am. Interment will follow at Forest Glade Cemetery, Wakefield.

Dear loved Pinette Family. Nothing that many of us can say will be enough to comfort your loss, but please know that we are here if you need anything or a shoulder to lean on. Even though I haven't met Caroline, she has taught me so much about strength and persevering in the eye of all life's most challenging curve balls. She was beauty and grace as she fought and a beacon of hope and love for all. She was called home early and I know she will continue her good work of sharing and sending love and strength to each of you. With so much love and sympathy. Love, Lynda

We all love you so much beautiful girl! You were part of our daughters group of besties since you were little. All you ladies did everything together and you will forever remain part of their little group! As a mom myself I got to spend some one on one time with you recently and I was blown away by your strength and courage. You came to visit ME with medical apparatus! Like it was no big deal! So strong! So sweet our Caroline! You will always be loved, never forgotten and I am sure there will be plenty of nights when I call out to you to help with some future things I wanted you to help me with. We will miss your physical presence painfully but we know spiritually you will be always with us! We love you Caroline!

Carole, Jay, and Kathleen, I am so very sorry for your loss. From the very first day that Caroline entered my classroom, I knew that Caroline was a treasure! In Kindergarten these young students learn by example, and Caroline would always set a wonderful example. I would say to the students, "If you don't know how to behave, just copy Caroline. She has it all figured out and is doing it just right!" What a sweetheart Caroline was! I know that everyone who came in contact with Caroline felt her goodness. I was so lucky to have Caroline and her sister, Kathleen in my class, both wonderful and beautiful students! Hugs and prayers to you, Carole, Jay, and Kathleen.
