Obituary Lisa Marie Citelli
October 26th, 1964 - October 31st, 2023
Lisa Marie Robinson Citelli, 59, of Idaho Falls, passed away on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, at her home from natural causes.
Lisa was born October 26th, 1964, in Idaho Falls to Gloria Ferguson and Duane Robinson. She grew up in Idaho Falls and attended Bonneville High School. She later went on to attend beauty college.
In 1980, Lisa met Troy Wadsworth and in 1981 they welcomed a daughter Janell Marie Robinson. Their relationship ended but they remained lifelong friends. In 1984 Lisa married Rodney Hudman and from that marriage, they had two children, Kymee Lynn Hudman and Cole Allen Hudman. They later divorced. In 2002 Lisa married Anthony Citelli and moved to Kuna Idaho. She remained there for several years before moving back to Idaho Falls to be closer to her family.
Lisa loved everyone but most of all her family. Her grandchildren were the center of her world. However, she refused to be called grandma claiming she was too young. She could only be referred to as “Nana”. She had a special bond with each and every grandchild and would do activities with them individually every weekend.
Lisa loved to laugh and had an amazing sense of humor. She especially loved to tease and torment her sister Corrina. She would always find it funny to wake her family up earlier than they wanted by singing her own version of “Rise and Shine” and would just laugh and laugh. Her laugh and smile were so contagious you just couldn’t be mad at her.
Lisa loved thrifting and prided herself on finding amazing deals. Even if she didn’t have room for one of her great finds, she would find a place to put it and somehow it always came together. She had a magic touch for decorating and could make anything simple look out of this world. She passed this hobby on to her grandchildren, and it became a favorite family activity.
She looked forward to the holidays and always made birthdays a big deal for everyone. She even dressed up in chaotic crazy holiday costumes and visited her kids’ schools when they were little just to embarrass them and make them laugh. The world will never be the same without her and she will forever be missed by all who knew and loved her.
She is survived by her children: Janell Robinson (Ron Schmid) of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Kymee Hudman (Lauro Varela) of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Cole (Alyssa) Hudman of Boise, Idaho; her grandchildren: ShaeLei (Jesus), Jace (Jojo), Addyson, Maxx, Sofia, Leo, and Danny; and a great-grandchild, Oakley all of Idaho Falls, Idaho; brother, Randy (Lisa) Robinson of Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho; sister, Corrina (Kurt) Risenmay of Idaho Falls, Idaho; several nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents: Gloria Ferguson and Duane Robinson; her siblings: Larry Ferguson, Donna Robinson, and Lewis Robinson; and her maternal grandparents: Mary and Babe Talamantez.
A celebration of life will be held from 1:00-3:00 p.m., Sunday, November 19, 2023, at Sagebrush Event Center, 800 Park Avenue, Idaho Falls. Cremation is under the Care of Coltrin Mortuary, 2100 First Street, Idaho Falls. Online condolences may be sent to www.coltrinmortuary.com.
