Heidi S. Fabrizio

Heidi Sharon (Sacks) Fabrizio, age 56, of Salem, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 30, 2025, after a valiant and courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Her strength, grace, and unwavering love for her family were evident throughout her journey, and she leaves behind a legacy of resilience, warmth, and joy.

Born in 1969 Heidi (growing up in Stoughton MA) was the cherished daughter of the late Lewis and Gloria (Matloff) Sacks. From an early age, she radiated a vibrant spirit and a deep appreciation for the arts, which would become a defining part of her life. Her love for musicals, theater, and live concerts was infectious, she could often be found singing along to her favorite George Michael, Cher and ABBA songs, or planning her next outing to attend.

Heidi shared 29 beautiful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Anthony "Tony" Fabrizio. Together, they built a home filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. Their bond was one of true partnership, rooted in mutual respect and a shared joy for life's simple pleasures, whether it was cheering at all their son's sporting events, outings with her family and friends, or taking their annual vacations, where Heidi found joy in her family time spent together.

A proud and loving mother, Heidi's world revolved around her family. She was the cherished mother of Roman Fabrizio, Alexander Fabrizio, and Marcus Fabrizio. She was fiercely protective, endlessly supportive, and always present. Her strength was quiet but powerful, and her nurturing spirit touched everyone who knew her. She was the kind of person who remembered birthdays, sent thoughtful notes, and made holidays feel magical.

Heidi had a playful side too, her love for movies and Disney was legendary, Star Wars and especially held a special place in her heart for Darth Vader, blending whimsy with a wink of rebellion. She was a passionate shopper, and she particularly found joy in her Black Friday shopping adventures with family and friends.

Her presence lit up every room she entered. She had a demeanor that could lift spirits and a heart that embraced others without hesitation. Heidi's life was a beautiful mosaic of devotion, creativity, and compassion. She taught those around her how to love deeply, fight bravely, and live fully.

She is survived by her beloved husband Anthony "Tony" Fabrizio, her treasured three children, Roman, Alexander and Marcus, loving sisters Judi (Sacks) Shurtleff and her husband Harry, and Lauren (Sacks) Provensal and her husband Yozef, daughter in-law of the late Domenico Fabrizio and Anna (Martignetti), sister in-law of the late Nicholas Fabrizio and Andrea, Maria (Fabrizio) Casey, Domenic Fabrizio and Jacquie, the late Gerardo Fabrizio, as well as cousins, nieces and nephews and a large group of supportive and caring friends who will carry her memory forward with love and gratitude.
