Lincoln - Lisa (Pytka) Vartanian, 61, of Lincoln, died Sunday, September 21, 2025 at Miriam Hospital, Providence, after a courageous battle with lung cancer.

Born in Central Falls, a daughter of the late Benjamin and Rosella (Cooper) Pytka, and late stepmother, Adel Pytka. She had resided in Central Falls for many years, before moving to Lincoln ten years ago.

Lisa was a beloved mother to her three sons, James Hurd, Joseph Hurd, and Steven Vartanian. She was also a cherished sister to Karen Martel, Wendy Burke, Gwen Pytka, Tammi Johnson, Donna Long, Doreen Voyer, and the late Deborah McNeile. Lisa's warm spirit and kindness were felt by many, especially her neighbors at Lincoln Manor, where she often delivered meals to family and friends.

A dedicated house cleaner, Lisa was self-employed and took great pride in her work. Beyond her professional life, Lisa had a passion for art, particularly drawing and painting. She enjoyed using watercolors to create beautiful landscapes and portraits, sharing her artistic talents with those around her. She also loved to sing karaoke,
