Lisa Berizzi Obituary

Lisa Baldwin Berizzi
WILLISTON - Lisa Baldwin Berizzi, "Bubbles", 62, passed away peacefully at home on February 24th after a courageous and fierce battle with pancreatic cancer. Lisa was born June 1, 1955 in Lunenburg, MA to the late Sherman and Beth Baldwin. They moved to Greenwich, CT in 1964 where she attended Greenwich schools and graduated from Marymount College of Virginia. She spent her entire career as an amazing and compassionate nurse at Greenwich Hospital. All that knew her, her colleagues, her patients, her friends adored her.
Lisa's incredible adventurous spirit was contagious and she often had groups of friends travel with her to Africa or other faraway destinations. Her daughter, Maggie, wrote the morning after her passing -
She (Lisa) flew planes, drove motorcycles and rode horses, if there was a choice of a direction 'the road less traveled' was the only option as far she she was concerned. My Mother (Lisa) was the strongest, bravest and most relentless woman I have ever known and the last 9 months cancer left her with a body that was a disgrace to her spirit, thankfully last night she let go after a fierce fight. My heart strings will forever be played by my magnificent Mom (Lisa), I pray you are finally as free as you always wanted to be.
Lisa loved to cook, loved her dogs and horses, loved spending time at Tod's Point and her passport was filled with stamps from all around the world but none of this compared to the love she had for her family.
Lisa is survived by her husband of 37 years, Louis Berizzi, two daughters Maggie Stewart (Jeremy) of Malibu, CA, Annabelle Berizzi of Greenwich, CT and Louis Jr of Wagener, SC, four grandchildren, Tristin Berizzi, August Matthes, Neri and Poppy Stewart, two sisters, Anne Castine of Greenwich, CT and Tucker Murphy of New Canaan, CT and one brother, Sherman L Baldwin, Jr of Sarasota, FL., six nephews and five nieces. She made friends wherever her travels took her and she will be missed by many.
A memorial service will be held on June 2, 2018, 11:00am at the Roger Sherman Inn, 195 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, CT as well as a celebration of a life well lived in South Carolina later this year. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research at lustgarten.org, Greenwich Point Conservancy at greenwichpoint.org. or aikenequinerescue.org
Folk Funeral Home, Inc. and Crematory, Williston, SC is assisting the family with arrangements. Visit our on-line registry at folkfuneralhome.com.

Lou - I read with sadness about Lisa. It's been a long time since we communicated. Reading about her in the Greenwich paper made think about the few times Heath and I met her many years ago. After 37 years of marriage you and Lisa were rifght there with Heath and I at 38

You obviously have your family to help you thru this difficult time.
I don't know how to reach you other than thru this guest book.
If you are still in the Greenwich area let me know. It would be to meet and catch up on a lot of years. We head for Wyoming and the Tetons for the summer in mid June.
Hope to hear from you

Lisa was just an incredibly wonderful, warm and open hearted human being. She lived life to the full and gave of herself 1,000,000 %. No one I have ever met has known how to enjoy the moment more. I'll never forget the 2 of us going off sledging (no children needed). We had a sledge each and at the top of a hill we made a pact to hold hands ALL the way down no matter what! There was a tree, but it was far off to the side of what we assumed would be our path... We were wrong, but hung onto each other until inches away, screaming and laughing like 10 year olds, ! I think I may have had a little accident.
I know that wherever Lisa is she will be rejoicing in every triumph and every success gained by her family, she will be cheering them on whilst possibly sucking on a Fire Ball!
Lisa Earth was a far better place with you on it, now it's Heaven's turn. I love you Lisa and wish you many celestial adventures! xxx

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, wife, sister, Grandmother and friend, Lisa. Ihank you for sharing your memories. I did not know Lisa, but she was obviously a beautiful person. I know that Lisa is looking down from heaven in complete peace

Lisa was an amazing RN. She was a supervisor at Greenwich Hospital where I also worked as an RN . No matter how stressful it was at work ( and it was) , Lisa was always on top of everything and found humor to boot! When I was working in the ED Lisa's visits to check out the patients to be admitted to the hospital always ended up in catching up too on family , and I was so blessed to know Lisa was there when I had family admitted to the hospital! I will miss you Lisa may God bless you and am praying in the name of Jesus that the Holy Spirit will bring your family into a closer relationship with Jesus the only savior for all mankind .
