Lois M. Lesizza's Obituary
Lois M. Lesizza, 87, of Stafford, CT, beloved wife of the late Michael P. Lesizza, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at St. Francis Hospital, Hartford, CT.
Born in New Hartford, CT, she was the daughter of the late George and Virginia (Maynard) Bennett. Lois was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend who cherished every moment spent with her family, who were truly her pride and joy.
Lois had a gift for knitting and crocheting, lovingly creating handmade treasures for friends and family that will be cherished for years to come. She found great enjoyment in playing Bingo, where she formed many lasting friendships over the years. A dedicated sports fan, she rarely missed a Yankees baseball game or a UConn basketball matchup.
Known for her kindness and gentle spirit, Lois was a woman who never had a bad word to say about anyone. Her positive attitude and determination were evident in her strong desire to remain in the apartment she so dearly loved. She was admired for her sharp memory and quick wit, which she maintained until the very end. Lois was deeply loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her and will be greatly missed. Her warmth, strength, and unwavering love for her family will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
She is survived by her daughters, Victoria Daigle and her husband Donald, and Vanessa Edwards and her husband Greg; her son-in-law, Brian Works and his wife Sharri; and her grandchildren, Anthony Works, Melissa Spencer and her husband Chris, Brandon Daigle, Brooke Edwards, and Devon Edwards and his girlfriend Megan.
