Mary Jennifer "Jenn" Amaral

With heavy hearts the family of Mary Jennifer 'Jenn' Amaral passed away peacefully on October 22nd. Jenn loved her family, her many co-workers, socializing with friends and family. She had a never-ending positive attitude, always lending a thoughtful ear and encouraging words of support.

Jenn was born to Laurus and Frances Sutton in New York City. As a young child the family relocated to the village of Eastville, Oak Bluffs on the island of Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts. It was on Martha's Vineyard that she met her future husband, the late Donald H. Amaral. Jenn and Don had 4 sons, the late Michael E. Amaral, of Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, the late Stephen J. Amaral of Auburn, Brian H. Amaral, of Boston, Massachusetts, and Gregory J. Amaral, of Brockton, Massachusetts. The family lived in Hyde Park, VT, West Chesterfield, NH, and settled in Auburn, Massachusetts in 1971.

Along with raising her family, Jenn was a businesswoman working as a corporate buyer for Smith Valve Company, Customer Service Manager for Rotman's Furniture Company, and a sales team head for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

Jenn survived her siblings, Laurus 'Terry' Sutton and his wife Bim, of Montclair, NJ, Helen Ross and her husband John, of Cape Carteret, NC, Peter Sutton, of Natick, Massachusetts, and Christopher Sutton and his partner Tammy, of Natick, Massachusetts.

Jenn's family is especially thinking of her family, co-workers, and friends, whom she adored and loved spending time and sharing time with. Also, a special thank you to the staff of Blackstone Valley Rehab and Nursing Home, who cared for Jenn over the past few years as she battled Alzheimer's.

The family will have visiting hours at the Britton-Wallace Funeral Home, 91 Central St., Auburn on Sunday December 7th between 1:00 – 3:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to make a donation to the Alzheimer's Association (www.alz.org/donate).
