Obituary for SISSA


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Tuesday October 19, 2010

Dian Sissa Mom, grammy, sister, aunt and friend, Dian Kerlee Sissa passed away October 15, 2010. Ovarian cancer took her life, but not her spirit. Dian joins her parents, Charles and Leslie Kerlee and brothers, Chuck and Gary, in a life without pain and suffering. We celebrate her life, as we mourn her death. Dian is survived by her husband, "her rock" Bob Sissa of San Jose, CA and their San Jose family, Mike and Debbie Sissa and Terri and Marti Martoza; She also is survived by her sons, Larry (Lora) Butler, of Albuquerque; Jeff Butler; and daughter Kelly Butler of Minneapolis, MN. The loves of her life, Brittnie Martoza of San Jose, and Jared and Devin Butler of Albuquerque, regret that their Grammy was taken too soon, but cherish the love, the joy, and for Jared, the reprimands and punishments that she gave gladly and freely; almost literally to her dying day... No one will ever forget her chasing you out the door son; you bring out the fire. We love you, Dian, We miss you. Give 'em hell in heaven....and give Grandma, Grandpa, Chuck and Gary all of our love. As per Dian's wishes, there will be no services. Please donate to the charity of your choice, help a child, or commit a random act of kindness. You never know how or whose life you may affect. We love you, Dian.
