Lisa "Lea" Petrusek

Lisa “Lea” (Greegor) Petrusek of Canton, Ohio passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 in her home in North Canton. She was born on December 3, 1961 in Canton, Ohio the daughter of the late John and Shirley (Mason) Greegor. Along with Lea’s parents she was preceded in death by her husband of 24 years, Wayne Petrusek.

Lea graduated from McKinley Senior High School in 1980. It wasn’t until 1995 that she married the true love of her life, Wayne. Because of Wayne’s job, they were able to travel the country together for many years, including a trip to Japan. For the last 8 years, Lea lived with her husband in his native state of Texas. She took care of Wayne for a year while he battled leukemia until he passed away in July of 2018. Lea recently came back to Ohio to be with her family. Lea had a strong faith in God. She loved her children and grandchildren immensely. She loved her dogs Kazee, Gunnie and the late Gizmo probably as much as her children.
