Lisa Andreana Obituary



With profound sadness we mourn the passing of our dear daughter, Lisa Marie Andreana, age 22, who entered into eternal peace on June 1, 2016 due to a heroin overdose after a long and courageous battle with addiction. While we are deeply saddened to see her go, we are relieved that her struggle has ended and she is now at peace. She grew up a happy spirited child with a love for family, the beach, soccer, running, reading, writing poetry, quilting (a love she shared with her Mema) and was an accomplished pianist. She was a very spiritual girl with a kind and caring soul. She touched so many people and always encouraged them to do their best even in her times of great struggle. She was quick to laugh and loved her family with all her heart. She was a 2012 graduate of Berlin High School and was a student at SCSU before her illness took hold. She leaves behind her mother Amy Andreana, her father Robert Andreana, her beloved brother Bobby Andreana, and her half-brother Nolan all from Berlin, CT; her grandparents Raymond & Ginger Rondini of Newington, and Eloise Andreana (Grand El) of Berlin. She also leaves her special Aunt Pam Lavery of Berlin and cousins Raymond and Samantha her sister-cousin. She is also survived by her Aunt Heather Andreana & Uncle Rob O'Connor of Chicago, her Uncle Jeff, of New London, her Mom's significant other Jay Toner and his two daughters Megan and Madison of New Hartford and a loving supportive extended family with many Aunts, Uncles and close cousins. It is the family's hope that the cruel disease of addiction will trend toward a broader degree of acceptance and de-stigmatization and a sense of urgency will be brought to this brutal health crisis affecting so many families. Lisa was a strong willed young lady who tried to fight addiction her way but ultimately lost the battle. We will love and miss her for the rest of our lives. Funeral services for Lisa Marie will be held Thursday, at 9:00 a.m. from the Newington Memorial Funeral Home, 20 Bonair Ave., Newington, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 a.m. at Church of the Holy Spirit. Interment will be in St. Mary's Cemetery, New Britain. Relatives and friends are invited to call Wednesday from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Newington Memorial. Memorial donations may be made to the Walter Hoving Home, 40 Walter Hoving Road, Garrison, NY 10524. To share a memory with Lisa Marie's family, please visit us at www.newingtonmemorial.com.

Oh Lisa, I still think about you all the time, even two years after your tragic passing. I think back to how genuine of a person you were how you broke down barriers between people with such ease. I think to how smart and talented and beautiful you were, and then I think about all the things you could have become or all the experiences you could have had if you just simply kept living. Bless your spirit, Lisa. I hope there is a heaven. And I am so, so sorry I didn't see the warning signs earlier... Thinking of you, today and everyday.

My deepest sympathies for your loss. It took great courage. I too lost my son from his struggle recently. He (Willard Miles) was in a fire and a mummy for 10 weeks and overwhelmed by pain pills. He was the best. It will not be easy to carry on, but we must share and help others with this horrible illness. Marge

Thank you for your courage in sharing Lisa's story. I know that it takes courage to be honest about her struggle with addiction. My 29 year old son, Timothy, died on January of a heroin overdose and we talked about this in his obituary. I was overwhelming to hear the number of people that reached to us because they, or their family could not openly admit their loved one's addiction. We need to keep the dialog going in order to try to end the shame and stigmatization of this disease. I am sure that your daughter was a wonderful person, and people need to realize that this illness happens to good people, from good families. My wife, and I share your pain.

June 13, 2016

You don't know me but I am moved to tell you that my heart goes out to all of you. Addiction is a horrible illness. You are in my prayers.

It is truly a family's nightmare, living in fear, trying to hold on every day. I'll pray for your family.

I never knew Lisa (but, my niece went to school with her) and that is why I read her obituary. My heart aches for you, her parents, because I realize what a heartache this addiction is for our children--no matter what age. You were brave writing this obituary and I felt it necessary to put it on FB because I think that if it helps one child think about the use of drugs, it has done it's job. Drugs are fickle. Your friend can try it once and walk away. But, for some, it's life changing.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Carla Donahoe

Amy and family
I was so saddened to learn about Lisa. As a mom, I can't begin to imagine the loss you are feeling. I admire the courage and strength you have all shown by sharing Lisa's story. Thank you for putting the message out there and I hope your words help others who may be dealing with this same situation. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and sending love to your family.

What a terrible loss. Lisa was very kind, compassionate, energetic, and easy to talk to. She had no bias for the cool kids or the unpopular. She touched everyone who meet her with light and kindness. She was bound for success and it is tragic to hear of this disease that overtook her. I lost many wonderful year with my mother to addiction. This is so terrible to hear and I am so sorry for your loss.

Teresa Vieweg

Dear Amy and family,

I am sorry about the loss of your daughter. Even before I noticed the name on the obituary sounded familiar, I noticed the picture of such a beautiful woman and was saddened that I was reading an obituary of someone so young. I know these are difficult times as I had lost my brother at a young age due to diabetes, but try and find some comfort in knowing that she is finally at peace now. A peace that she could not find in this life but will have forever now.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful young girl. As her former fifth grade teacher, I remember her as a happy, spirited young girl. She came into school each day with a smile and a positive attitude. I will always remember how she would visit my desk at the end of each day and share whatever was on her mind. The conversations were always enjoyable and entertaining. Lisa, was the type of student that you can never forget, she will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this most difficult time. Rest in peace, Lisa.

I commend you on your honesty...I did the same with the hopes of saving a life and letting everyone know that heroin is taking our precious children. I will pray that you and your family find the strength to get through each day, as each day is a struggle, even now. There are no words, but there are many parents who understand your loss. God Bless and may your beautiful daughter find peace.

My sincere condolences to the Andreana family. Your heartache must be unimaginable.

We could have easily been in your shoes had I not found our son in the nick of time unconscious on his bedroom floor. He is now in long term rehab and doing very well. It's going to be a long hard road ahead but one that I am willing to travel with him to ensure his full recovery.

Rest in peace sweet angel.

I was touched reading your daughter's tribute. My brother suffered addiction (alcohol) and ended up taking his life because he lost all hope in ever getting better. He was only 45 years old with two sons. Addiction is such a heart wrenching disease, not only for the person going thru it, but also for the loved ones who watch and feel so helpless. I write this to let you know how many people can understand your loss without even personally knowing Lisa or your family. You are not alone. Thank you for sharing Lisa's story. Prayers to you and your family. Deepest and heartfelt condolences.

I realize that I don't know your family but I don't have to, I know the story. It is the saddest repeated story in this country that needs much more attention immediately. I am so sorry for your loss of such a lovely person.

June 5, 2016

You don't now me, but I wanted to send my condolences to your family. Addiction is a very powerful disease. my son fights the disease everyday.

May god be with you and the angels wrap there wings around you during this difficult time.

I just want to express that I am thinking of the Rondini-Andreana family at this time. Lisa and I went to school together, worked together for part of high school and I can say that I always had respect for her. She was positive, forward-thinking, polite, gentle, very easy to talk to and candid genuine. It's an extraordinary loss.

I don't have words to truly express my devastation at the news of this tragic loss to this world. As a mother myself, I can't imagine having to go through what you're facing. I will pray that God wraps his loving arms around you, giving you strength and hope to get through this. I loved Lisa like a little sister, and even though she's younger, she taught me so much. About life, love, standing up for what you believe in, about faith in God. The world truly lost an amazing soul, someone so special.. I pray that all those suffering from addiction can find the strength and determination to break those chains. Lisa fought with everything she had. And I know she's found peace now. I will miss you so much.

Lisa was a friend of my son, and of the few times I saw her I knew that she was a genuine person. She always spoke highly of her family and I could tell that she was very close to them. I was saddened to hear about her passing, but knowing that she at peace is a good thing. For some of us life is a constant struggle! I am glad that I knew her briefly and will always remember her beautiful smile and kind words. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours. A friend; Always, Claudia
