Lisa's obituary
Lisa Marie Tarolli, born October 2, 1962, passed away on April 27, 2026.
She was the beloved daughter of Carol Dorigatti and Ralph Spatz; a devoted mother to Madison Tarolli (Brian Brown), Jenna Tarolli, William Payne, and Angela Payne; a proud grandmother to Kaspian and Anastasia Brown, Eric and Mia Franz, and Mackenzie Pelham. She is also survived by her sister, Joanna Kardos, and was a friend to many.
Lisa was definitely one of a kind..she had her own way of doing things and was unapologetically herself. She was strong-willed and set in her ways, but full of love for the people around her and strength for the battles she’s fought. She lived life fully and on her own terms, which makes her passing feel all the more sudden and heartbreaking.
Above everything, Lisa loved her family. She shared a special bond with her daughter Madison, they were best friends. Lisa showed her love in the little things: cooking meals, helping with the babies, keeping things clean, always a little “I love you” in her own way. She especially loved shopping, something that brought her joy and many shared memories.
She held a deep love for St. Thomas and for her father, whom she missed dearly. Though life wasn’t always perfect, and some relationships were complicated, Lisa loved all of her children in her own way and carried that love with her always.
Lisa was full of life, always had a big dream for her and her children. Her presence will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her. She leaves behind memories filled with personality, laughter, tears, and love that will never be forgotten.
“Thank you momma, for loving me in all the ways you knew how..”
