Lisa Acosta Obituary
East Brunswick - The world lost a beautiful soul on Thursday, December 26 when Lisa Frances Acosta, 54 passed away at home surrounded by her loving family. Her family was everything to her, and she will be deeply missed by her devoted husband of 34 years, Anthony, and cherished children, her son Anthony and his wife Nicole, her daughter Deanna Heyl and her husband Jimmi, her son Dominic and her granddaughter Annabel.
Lisa is survived by her mother, Irene McKenna, sister Karen Nash and her husband Barry, sister Linda Manzione, and many Nieces and nephews.

Lisa was an avid reader and loved spending time at the beach and at estate sales. Her only boss was Bruce Springsteen.

Lisa worked for my father at the gym and helped with his shows. She always talked about her family and it was apparent how much she loved them all. My thoughts and prayers are with them as they endure this great loss. RIP Lisa❤

Lisa and I worked together at Central School. She was a treasure to have in the classroom. We called her the "Child Whisperer" because she always knew what to do or say to help a child be successful and did it with such grace and humbleness. She never liked or needed praise for her gift with children. However, it was always admired and appreciated by her friends at Central. We will truly miss her.
