Lisa M. Caporizzo from Albany NYS has passed away at the age of 57. She was the spouse of Steve Caporizzo, as reported by WTEN.

 Lisa M. Caporizzo from Altamont, New York, was an extraordinary presence in her community, leaving a profound impact through her warmth, empathy, and relentless commitment to helping others—both people and animals. Born on August 8, 1968, her life was characterized by a giving nature, steadfast devotion to her family, and a strong passion for rescuing animals.

Lisa’s path of love and service began when she encountered her life partner on February 1, 1997. Their partnership, which lasted 29 years, showcased collaboration, encouragement, and a shared vision. Those familiar with Lisa recognized her not merely as a caring partner but as a beacon of motivation and strength. She infused vibrancy and happiness into every space she occupied, skillfully balancing her professional and personal endeavors with a heart always inclined to serve.

As a true defender of animals, Lisa co-established and managed Pet Connection, an organization focused on rescuing and rehoming pets in need. Her commitment went well beyond public recognition; she devoted innumerable hours behind the scenes to make certain that every event, fundraiser, or adoption effort was successful. Whether planning tailgate gatherings, adoption drives, or charity events, Lisa concentrated on enhancing the lives of animals. Many of the pets she took in were older or faced health difficulties, and she worked diligently to ensure they experienced love, comfort, and happiness in their lives.

Lisa's empathy also extended to her family. She had a profound love for her mother, Emily, and ensured that despite her busy schedule, she spent precious moments with her loved ones. Those who had the privilege of knowing Lisa often admired her ability to balance so many responsibilities while prioritizing the needs of others. Her tenacity, optimism, and selflessness shone through in all areas of her life.

Her influence on the community, particularly in animal rescue efforts, will be cherished for a long time. In remembrance of her legacy, friends and family are encouraging contributions to local shelters, rescues, or Pet Connection, ensuring that Lisa’s commitment to kindness and care endures.

Lisa is survived by her mother, Emily Walzak Satterlee, her sister Jolene Reinhardt, and her brothers Norman and Kenneth Satterlee, in addition to numerous nieces and nephews. Her legacy continues through the many lives she impacted, the animals she rescued, and the profound love she offered to family and friends. Lisa’s life was a brilliant illustration of commitment, generosity, and steadfast love.
