Lisa H. Santoro, 65, passed away suddenly on January 25th, a loss that has come as a profound shock to all who knew and loved her.

Lisa was happiest when spending quality time with her family, sharing laughter and creating memories that will be cherished forever. Her presence was calming, and she had a rare gift for knowing how to fix everyone's problems often putting the needs of others before her own. She was a devoted wife for 29 years to the late Richard "Ricky" Santoro and Mother to Cassandra Geramita and Melissa Santoro. She was the heart of her family and a source of steady love and strength.

She adored her grandchildren especially her grandson James Geramita and granddaughter Layla Bonavita. Being their grandmother brought her immense joy and pride.

Lisa is survived by her brother Harry Lesjak Jr., daughters Cassandra Geramita and Melissa Santoro, grandson James Geramita, granddaughter Layla Bonavita, "son in law" Ronald Costa Jr., mother in law Dorothy Santoro, brother in law David Santoro and also leaves behind nieces and nephews and friends who she she loved dearly.

Lisa is preceded in death by her husband Richard Santoro, mother Lovina Lesjak, father Harry Lesjak, granddaughter Penelope Bonavita.

Lisa will be missed beyond words. While her time with us feels short, we are deeply grateful for every moment we shared with her and we will always carry her love, laughter and kindness in our hearts.

With deepest sorrow, the family of Lisa shares that, due to her sudden passing, no service will be held at this time. Your prayers, condolences, and support are greatly appreciated as we grieve this loss.

A celebration of life will be planned at a later date.

Eternal rest grant unto Lisa, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.
