Obituary of Lisa K. Sabbatino

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. She was born November 8, 1968, to James and Linda Ackel in Riverside, California. Lisa 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 three 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 thirty-three 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 eighteen 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, Anthony "Tony"; 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.
