Lisa Marie Ninteau
DRACUT - Lisa Marie Ninteau, age 58, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Born and raised in the heart of Lowell, Massachusetts, Lisa was the daughter of the late Armand and Eileen (Knapp) Ninteau. Lisa is survived by her sister, Debra Janowicz, and brother-in-law, Dennis Janowicz, whom she lived with for the past 12 years of her life. Lisa also leaves behind her brother, Jeffrey Ninteau, and sister-in-law, Paula Ninteau. Lisa’s legacy will forever live on through the lives of her 5 nieces and 2 nephew-inlaws: Kathryn and Matt Courtois, Lauren Janowicz and Nicholas Landry, Abby Janowicz, Emily Ninteau, Alyssa Ninteau, and great-niece, Maggie Courtois.
Lisa was a beacon of light in the lives of all who knew her, with an unparalleled gift for connecting with people from all walks of life. Lisa had a gift for striking up conversations with strangers wherever she went. Despite her ability to make new friends, Lisa’s favorite friends were her nieces, and was always proud to boast her title of “auntie”. Lisa had an uncanny ability to find humor in even the most mundane situations, leaving a trail of laughter wherever she went. Her quick comebacks and witty remarks were legendary among her friends and family. Despite the trials and tribulations that came her way, Lisa refused to let life’s difficulties dampen her spirit. Even over the course of her final days, Lisa never missed an opportunity to make fun of her doting brother-inlaw, “Den”.
In addition to her love for people, Lisa enjoyed traveling with her late fiance, George, to Greece and Egypt. Although, Lisa believed that no trip across the world was more exciting than a trip to the casino. Lisa’s sharp wit and strategic mind led her to countless victories at the casino. She took pleasure in the thrill of gambling and spending quality time with her devoted best friend, Judi Beilen. Lisa looked forward to Judi’s daily visits and deeply valued their conversations. Judi selflessly dedicated herself to Lisa’s care ensuring her comfort, humor, and happiness until the very end.
Aside from her love of the casino, Lisa had a sweet tooth like no other. Milk chocolate was her weakness, and she could never resist a hot fudge sundae. This was only one of the many delicacies in life that Lisa and her sister, Debbie, connected through. Lisa and Debbie shared an extraordinary bond like no other. One of their favorite pastimes was watching the Red Sox together. You could always count on Lisa to catch you up on the highlights of each game. Debbie’s moments spent in Lisa’s company were filled with innumerable laughs, tough love, and the occasional debate. Debbie’s unwavering loyalty to her sister knew no bounds and remained true until the very end.
Lisa’s memory will forever be cherished by her loving family and the countless individuals whose lives she touched with her kindness and compassion. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to call her, “friend”, “sister”, and “auntie”.
