1968-2021 Colorado Springs, CO - It is with profound sadness that the family of Lisa Sabbatino, our dear wife, mom and grandma passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at home on December 20, 2021, after a valiant and courageous fight with cancer. Lisa's strength and drive keep us all confident she would beat this obstacle. Lisa dedicated her life to our family, her work, and her education. Lisa was born November 08, 1968, to James and Linda Ackel in Riverside, CA. She took all of her callings seriously and was diligent in fulfilling her obligations. She cared for her energetic, intelligent, and loving sons while her husband deployed across the globe in support of our national objectives. Lisa was able to maintain a healthy and vibrant household, a fulltime job, earned 3 college degrees and made sure our sons made it to every soccer, football and basketball practice and games. Lisa was my wife and best friend for 33 years. She had the good fortune and opportunity to travel the United States and live in North Carolina and Colorado. Lisa also lived in Germany and traveled to 18 different countries while we lived there. But her favorite place was Colorado, whether she was in the mountains or at her home, all she needed was her dog, family, and friends to be happy and content. Lisa is survived by her husband, her sons Edward and Nikolas, her grandson Ezra, her mother Linda, brother Eric and sisters Patty, Paula, and Pam. She will also be dearly missed by her friends at the Queen Palmer Elementary School and all-around town. A celebration of her life will be held January 28, 2021, at 10 am at the Springs funeral services, then a graveside service at the Pikes Peak national cemetery for family and then a reception for friends and family will follow. Meanwhile we have no doubt that Lisa is as social as ever and will reconnect with long last family and friends as well as keep tabs on us as we remember her as the shinning light and endearingly optimistic and fearless person, we know her as.
