Carol A. Mattola

Carol A. Mattola 77, of Everett, Ma passed away peacefully on September 9, 2025 after courageously fighting a long battle with Alzheimer’s, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late Nicholas Mattola Jr. of Everett, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, and the devoted partner of the late John Spano, who brought her joy and companionship in later years.

Born to the late Thomas and Marie Reynolds, she is survived by her cherished daughters: Lisa Hincman and her fiancé Michael Vetrano, Nicole Tavares and her husband Michael, and Christina Mattola and her fiancé Doug Chick. She was the proud and devoted grandmother of Courtney and Mikayla Hincman, and Nicholas, Matthew, and Timothy Tavares. She was predeceased by her son-in-law Chester “Chip” Hincman, whose memory she carried close to her heart. Her five grandchildren were her entire world—she never missed a dance recital, sporting event, school event, or birthday party. She truly was the best grandmother.

She leaves behind her sisters Diane and Rosie, her brother Tommy, and was predeceased by her sister Barbara Parsons.

She enjoyed a long career as a home health aide with Intercity Home Care and as a retail associate for many years at JCPenney, where she made lifelong friendships and touched the lives of so many with her kindness.

Beyond her work, she lived a life full of love, joy, and adventure. She adored dancing and traveling—taking memorable trips to destinations such as Alaska, Hawaii, and countless cruises, as well as frequent visits to Florida to be with her sisters. At home, she loved cooking and baking, sharing her famous pizzelles, eggplant parmesan, and anisette cookies with family and friends.

Her warmth, generosity, and devotion to family will forever be remembered by all who knew her.

Donations can be made in her memory to the Alzheimer’s Association or an Alzheimer’s foundation of your choice, to support research and families facing this difficult journey.
