Lisa M. DeSimone (Travassos) of Saugus passed away on March 1, 2025, at the age of 60, surrounded by her loving family.
Loving mother of Krystle V. Kelley and her husband Derek, Christopher Branco and his wife Tiffany, and Mario Desimone.
Adored Mimi of Shaelyn Kelley, Callen Kelley, and Maxwell Branco.
Beloved sister of Allen J. Travassos and his wife Frances, John A. Travassos, Victor A. Travassos and his fiancé Diane Foley.
Dear former wife of Gaetano DeSimone.
Also survived by her beloved dogs Vita and Lenny, as well as nieces, nephews, other loving relatives and friends.
Lisa was known to most as one of the hardest workers around, always working more than one job. During the day you could find her driving the school bus for Essex North Shore or taking senior citizens out for M&L Transportation. At night she’d shine waiting tables at La Vita Mia for many years and then 110 Grill in Saugus. Her infectious laugh will never be forgotten.
