FALL RIVER - Deborah Ann Pavao passed away on August 31, 2026. Born in Fall River to Evelyn (Ferry) Charron and the late Ernest Charron.

She was a woman with a heart as big as her personality, always willing to help anyone in need and never hesitating to give the shirt off her back to someone she cared about. Her home was always an open house, where family and friends were welcomed with open arms and never made to feel like strangers. She was truly one of the toughest ladies you could ever meet—strong-willed, fiercely independent, and, as her family would lovingly say, very stubborn. But beneath that toughness was a heart filled with an immeasurable love for her family, who meant more to her than anything in the world. Her generosity, strength, and unwavering love will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

She was survived by her long-time companion Raymond Medeiros; sons Gregory Pavao and Joseph Charron; granddaughter Kairi-Lynn Charron; brothers Gary Charron and the late Donald and Ernest "Bo" Charron; nephews Josh & Kyle Charron and niece Tara Reynolds; great-nephew Jacob.

Arrangements were entrusted to the care of Manuel Rogers Funeral Home 1521 N. Main St. Fall River.
