Born in Newark, NJ, to Louis and Mary Izzo. Lisa graduated from Millburn High School, and went on to Edicott College in Beverly, MA, where she earned her teaching degree.
Her passion and dedication for teaching awarded her many accolades while serving the Paterson Public Schools for over 35 years. She wore "many hats" and became a mentor to all those around her. As we may have lost a beautiful person here on earth, heaven has certainly gained a sweet angel in heaven.
Lisa is survived by her loving husband Jim of 36 years; and her dear brothers Kenneth Izzo, and Jeffrey Izzo and his wife Lynda Tortoriello. She also leaves behind many loving family members, close friends, associates, and her cherished pets Diva, Bogart, Cooper, and Bronson.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Lisa’s name to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital would be greatly appreciated.
