Lisa Ciotti, 34, of Baldwinsville, NY passed away on Monday, April 10, 2023, in the arms of her loving family. Lisa was born in Syracuse, NY and was a 2009 graduate of C.W. Baker High School. Lisa had an unforgettable presence, contagious smile and quick wit.  She thoroughly enjoyed her many years of volunteering at SUNY Upstate Hospital where she loved to give back to those in need.  Despite her physical challenges, she was bravely one of the original members of the ARISE & Ski program which she enjoyed for 10 years. She even participated in the New York State Empire games.  A lover of music, Lisa could be heard belting out patriotic songs any time of year. Her magnetic personality always drew others in.

Lisa is predeceased by her maternal grandparents, Alexander and Josephine Kozikowski and paternal grandparents, John and Dorothy Ciotti. Surviving to cherish Lisa's memory are her parents, John and Karen (Kozikowski) Ciotti of Baldwinsville; her sister and brother-in-law, Michelle and Dan Robinson and beloved nieces Grace and Laura of Liverpool, along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.

We are grateful for the lessons of empathy, compassion and bravery that Lisa has taught us all.  A world without Lisa is hard to imagine, but the world is a better place because she was in it.

Lisa's family would like to extend a special thank you to her many mentors who provided exceptional care over the years. They are also grateful for the staff on 6H ICU at SUNY Upstate for their loving and devoted care during her stays.
