Lisa Murtha Colosimo, age 66, passed away peacefully at her home on September 10, 2024. Lisa was born in Columbus, Ohio and graduated from Bishop Watterson H.S ‘75 and then The Ohio State University.

Never one to sit still, after retirement from the PUCO, Lisa immersed herself volunteering at the Memorial Tournament where she served as Co-Chair in Hospitality Services. She made countless lifelong friends at every stage of her life. Lisa was beloved by everyone she met as she always offered them a big smile, a large heart, and a helping hand. She loved her family fiercely, and was an absolute joy to be around as she possessed such a bright and energetic spirit.
