IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Maria Elisa
“Lisa” Genoese-Fulmer
January 26, 2016
Lisa passed away on Tuesday, January 26, 2016, following her courageous battle with cancer. She was a Lancaster County native, graduating from Lancaster Catholic High School in 1982. After graduation she attended college and obtained her certificate to be a Certified Nursing Home Administrator. Later in life, she attended York Technical Institute and received her degree in Culinary Arts. Following her education, she opened her lifelong dream of Sapori Café. Lisa had many interests including her love of cooking, traveling to Italy, and her desire to share her home cooking with everyone. She always had the mentality that there is room for everyone at her table.
Lisa was a loving and faithful wife to her childhood "crush," Christopher Fulmer, with whom she shared 20 years of marriage. Five children survive her: Joseph, Anthony, Paige, Filomena, and Marcus. In addition to being a mother, she was also blessed by being a "Nonna" to her granddaughter, Ava, daughter to Joseph and Megan, and to the child of Anthony and Ashley Thornton expected in April 2016. Her greatest joy in life was her family. She is also survived by her two siblings, Antonia Hinnenkamp, wife of Larry, and Franc Genoese, husband of MaryEllen, and four nieces and nephews: Rachel, Caroline, Samuel and Francesca. Additionally, she is survived by many cousins here and abroad, especially Giuseppe Genoese and his wife, Donna. Her parents, Antonino and Mickina, and her brother, Philip, will meet her with open arms entering heaven.
She was a vibrant woman full of love for everyone that crossed through her path. Lisa was the person who was grateful for everything, and nothing was ever too small. Her spirit will always be present at the traditional "Sunday Dinner" and every meal that will be eaten at the table will always be greeted with her presence.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, on Tues., Feb. 2, at 11:30 a.m. with the Rev.
