Lisa M. Saindon 1964-2024

She was born in Youngtown, the daughter of Victor Nespeca Sr. and Cheryl Nolan Clayton. Lisa was also the stepdaughter of Linda Nespeca and the heart of John and Diann Leach.

Lisa was a 1983 graduate of Hubbard High School. She received her LPN license from New Castle School of Nursing and went on to become a traveling nurse. From this experience, she met the love of her life, Richard “Bill” Saindon. They married Oct. 28, 2006, and Lisa spent the happiest years of her life in the New Hampshire mountains living in the home she and Bill built together.

Lisa was passionate about her family. She doted on all of her nieces, nephews and especially her grandchildren.

Everyone will miss her three-hour phone calls, her nonstop chatter and the mysterious packages she would send, which could include anything from a blanket to a pork roast. She was an incredibly loving and generous person.

Lisa is survived by her mother, stepmother and bonus parents; her son, Joseph (Shannon) Cornell; stepdaughter, Daynia Burrill; and her grandchildren, Olivia Gianni, Gabriella, Luca, Hunter and Emma. She is also survived by her siblings, Lorinda (Joe) Nespeca, Lynette Hardman, Robert (Carrie) Leach, Geraldine (Vincent) Bray, Melissa (Dan) Fenza and Victor Nespeca Jr.; plus numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her father and by her niece, Lynette Hardman.

The family would like to thank the amazing staff at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Neurologic ICU.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Lisa’s name to Norris Cotton Cancer Center, One Medical Center Drive, Lebanon, NH 03756.

Arrangements are respectfully being handled by Newton-Bartlett Funeral Home.
