A GOLD STAR WIFE: Donna Whittemore-Farris, of Saugus, is a frequent visitor to Riverside Cemetery for Memorial Day observances. Here, she turns out for a Memorial Day ceremony in 2019 to remember her late husband, U.S. Army veteran Everett Farris, who served in the Vietnam War. Whittemore-Farris blames his death (2010) on exposure to chemicals which left him paralyzed years after his Vietnam service. He was a decorated veteran who served in the Anti-Tank Company of the 169th Infantry Regiment.
