In Loving Memory of Lisa Garcia
(Lisa Marie Putnam Baldi Garcia)
January 22, 1962 – June 27, 2025
Lisa Garcia, born Lisa Marie Putnam on January 22, 1962, to Joseph and Joyce Putnam, passed away peacefully on June 27, 2025.
She is lovingly remembered by her siblings: Pamela (Kevin) Cooney, Mari Beth Putnam, and Peter Putnam. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and two great-great-nieces who will cherish her memory.
Lisa was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph (Elva) Putnam and Joyce Putnam; her sisters, Kerry Twyman and Judy Campbell; her nephew, David Twyman; and her great-nephew, Brendan Twyman.
Lisa was known for her warm heart, generosity, and wonderful sense of humor. A hardworking and resilient woman, she often balanced multiple jobs and proudly owned and operated a house cleaning business for several years.
She had a special love for celebrating holidays—especially Christmas—and found great joy in planning festive gatherings. Lisa’s deep love for her family was evident in everything she did. She consistently put others before herself, always sharing whatever she had with loved ones and even with strangers.
In her later years, she was blessed with the devoted care and companionship of her nephew Steven (Erin) Twyman and niece Ruth (John) Miller, whose support meant the world to her.

I've known Lisa for a very long time since we were kids. We kind of grew up together. I used to spend the night at her house all the time. When she lived over by the high school then she brought me to church with her and I loved it. And then I remember her teaching me how to play the piano. We used to play over and over heart and soul. I will cherish those memories forever. Lisa, you will always be in my heart.
