Lisa Lifrieri-DeLasho

Lisa Lifrieri-DeLasho, 65, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester in Bronxville, New York with her loving family by her side.

She was born on April 21, 1960, in Yonkers, New York, to Thomas and Rina (Scopoli) Lifrieri. Lisa graduated from Yonkers High School in 1978 and earned a diploma from The Berkeley School Executive Secretarial Program in 1979.

Lisa was employed with Kraft Foods as an Executive Administrator for 20 years in Marketing and Sales. She was instrumental in mentoring the internship program recruiting new administrative assistants. Lisa was extremely professional and well respected within the organization. The friendships she developed continued throughout her life.

Lisa began dating her high school sweetheart, Ken DeLasho, on April 5, 1975. In the words of Kenny Chesney, Lisa "had [him] from hello," and "it was over from the start [she] completely stole [his] heart." They married on April 5, 1987 at the Fordham University Chapel in the Bronx, New York.

Lisa and Ken moved to Tuckahoe, New York in 1998 where they raised their two beautiful children, Cody Thomas and Carson Rae DeLasho. Lisa was very involved in the Eastchester and Fordham Prep communities, always volunteering at school events and cheering on her kids' sports teams.

Lisa is predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Rina Lifrieri, and her longtime friend and sister-in-law Joan (DeLasho) Lloyd. She is survived by her beloved husband, Ken; loving children Cody and Carson; dear sister Michelle Lifrieri and brother-in-law John D'Angiolillo; nephew and niece Joseph (Marisa) and Nicole DeLasho; and many close friends.

Lisa found joy in trips to the beach, attending sporting events and concerts, tending to her roses and tomato plants, and especially shopping. Many appreciated her love of fashion and elegant sense of style, often sporting an all-black ensemble for every occasion.

More than anything, Lisa loved her children, family, and friends with all her heart. She was the best mother who always took care of those around her and was ready to help at a moment's notice. Her smile, warmth, and sense of humor made everyone feel at home, and it didn't hurt that she often had chicken cutlets and homemade pizza to share with all. Whether it was hosting Christmas dinner or long chats on the phone, Lisa cherished quality time with her loved ones. Her loyalty, affection, and devotion to her family was admired by all.

Lisa touched everyone she met, and those close to her will never forget her true love and friendship.
