Lisa Telford Obituary



In loving memory of

Lisa Telford

Who passed suddenly on April 7, 2010 from complications arising from surgery. She is survived by her mother Lynn, her father Doug, and boyfriend Brett.

Lisa Diane Telford was born April 19, 1973 and was a life- long resident of California, except for three memorable years spent in the Miami area in grad school. Lisa was a warm and caring person, whose laughter would light up the room. She loved traveling with her mother, great food, theater, the color pink, baking mouth watering treats, Sharks games and spending time with her friends, family and her cat Sabrina. She was attending Santa Clara University's Master's program for Counseling Psychology and was becoming a wonderful therapist. Lisa is remembered for her giving nature, endless support of those around her and her irreverent sense of humor. She will always be missed greatly by all who had the privilege of knowing her and those who hope to continue in the work on which she was to embark.

Bon nuit, Lisa
