Obituary of Elena Lisica

LISICA (UZONI), Elena,74, of Matamoras, PA, passed away suddenly on October 21, 2019 at her home in Kukljica, Croatia while on vacation. She was a 3-time cancer survivor. Her entire world was about her family and close friends and the love she cultivated over the years. She made time slow down, lived her life to the fullest and was involved in everyone’s lives. She enjoyed serving meals to everyone who walked in her door with her beautiful kindness. She spent her time baking cookies and cakes that were a staple at every family event- a party was not a party without Nannies’ cookies. She also looked forward to her visits to family in Kustilji and Croatia each year.
