Lisa was an inspiration to everyone that she encountered. Lisa lived life to its fullest, traveling, going to many concerts, and rarely turning down an invitation to enjoy life. Lisa was an advocate for social justice and was a voice for many that couldn’t advocate for themselves. Lisa was involved in advocating and raising awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension and Donate Life. Lisa loved her family, all her friends, and her furry friends with everything she had. Lisa loved her community, her roots, and was very proud to have been born and lived her entire life on the North Side of Endicott.
The family would like to express their gratitude to New York Presbyterian Hospital, especially the loving care of Dr. Erica Berman, The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the loving nurses, care team, and for the loving, faithful care of Dr. Christian Bermudez and Dr. Maria Crespo. All angels amongst us. A heartfelt thank you to all the Prayer Warriors who tirelessly held Lisa up in prayer. We are forever grateful.
