Lisa Boylan

July 10, 1958 - September 9, 2023

Lisa Boylan, 65, of Milwaukie, entered God's kingdom on September 9th, 2023. She was born July 10, 1958, to Richard and Joan Rohrer. A loving and devoted wife, sister, mother, and grandmother. Lisa is survived by her spouse, Brad; son, Kyle; daughter-in-law, Kelly; granddaughters, Evelyn and Margot; siblings, Todd, Elaine, and Jason; and many members of her extended family. Lisa met Brad while in high school and later married on Valentine's Day 1982. After, they spent the next several years traveling from coast to coast while Brad worked in minor league baseball. Shortly after being a part of the 1987 World Series Twins team, Brad and Lisa welcomed their only child, Kyle, in July of 1988. With this, they settled down in the Mid-Willamette Valley for the next 36 years, with the only exception being a few years in Chicago in the early 1990's. Her career endeavors were both diverse and numerous. She was a talented church musician, played both the organ and piano for more than forty years. She also was a passionate supporter and advocate for women's gymnastics, where she was celebrating her 50th year as a judge. She loved working with athletes of all ages, from those first starting in the sport to those competing at the highest levels of the NCAA. This includes several former and current Olympians. She was an advocate in the medical field and was passionate for helping individuals navigate the medical system, and medical insurance. She had been attending Portland Community College for her associate degree in Gerontology, at the time of her passing. As the oldest child of the Rohrer family, Lisa was often described as a second mother to her siblings. She embraced a caregiver role as she supported her husband in a variety of ways after his stroke in 1995. She also served as a caregiver for both of her parents until their passing and provided in-home childcare for her two young granddaughters. Lisa loved to travel and to experience new things. She often lived with the motto, "the answer is always no if you don't ask." She loved being with her granddaughters and teaching them new things and opening them up to new experiences. Lisa was the consummate entertainer that loved to have people over to share a meal and make memories together. She was the brightest light that could connect with anyone on a personal level and could make their day with a single conversation. We miss her so much and the world is just a bit dimmer without her.A memorial service will take place at 1pm on October 1st at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, 2650 NW Highland Dr, Corvallis, OR.
