It is with a heavy and broken heart that I share the sudden passing of my beloved baby sister, Lisa (Vincenzi) Vasquez, on November 27th, 2025. She was 50 years old. Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday. Just days before, Lisa underwent neck and spinal surgery, and her loss has left our family in shock and deep sorrow. Lisa was the heart of our family, a devoted mother to her four children and a loving grandmother. She also helped raise her grandson, Christopher Rodriguez, and her life was dedicated to caring for others both at home and in her career.

Lisa worked over 25 years in the nursing field, finally achieving her dream of becoming a nurse this past year. She was a strong, compassionate woman who always stood up for what was right and never hesitated to help those in need. Her colleagues at St. Mary's described her as a hard worker who did anything for anyone, always with professionalism and a smile. Lisa's perseverance and kindness touched everyone she met, and her sense of humor and warmth made everyone feel loved and valued.

Her passing is an unimaginable loss for her children, grandchildren, friends, and all who knew her. We are now facing the difficult task of giving Lisa the farewell she deserves. The funds raised will go toward her wake, cremation, and burial, with any remaining support going to her children. I wish I could do this alone, but I am reaching out to Lisa's friends, family, and anyone touched by her spirit for help. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and help us honor Lisa's memory. Thank you for your kindness and support during this heartbreaking time.
