Lisa Bitterman Obituary

Lisa C. Bitterman

Lisa passed away May 2, 2020 at age 56 following a long illness. She is survived by her loving husband of 15 years, Mark A. Bitterman. She was the cherished daughter of Pamela Barney and the late Harold L. Conrad and the beloved sister of Joe Conrad (Stacey) and stepsisters Susan Barney, Laura Washburn and nephew Drew Washburn. She will also be dearly missed by the many aunts, uncles and cousins of her extended family. Lisa's life was cut too short and a smart, funny, caring light is gone from our midst. A memorial service will be postponed until her family and many friends can gather together to celebrate her life in joy and safety. Memorial contributions may be made in her name to the Michigan Humane Society.

It's been over 40+ years since I have seen her and her brother Joe. Joe and I worked together for awhile at English Gardens in Dearborn and he introduced us. She had an infectiious laugh and a beautiful smile. All 3 of us had some great times and laughs back in the day. So sorry to hear of her passing. Prayers for Joe and the rest of her family....

My heartfelt condolences to the Conrad/Bitterman family. I used to babysit for Lisa and Joe when they were kids, and we always had so much fun. I am so sorry for your loss, and will keep you in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers to the Conrad/Bitterman family. I grew up with Lisa and Joe and babysat often for them. It was a fun job and I have some great memories of that time. Lisa was such a sweet and funny youngster. I saw Lisa several years ago and she hadn't changed one bit. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Lisa-we love you and well miss you alway. You left us too soon-and our hearts are broken.

Dearest Lis, I have so many memories of good times with you! From our adventures at the albatross, our days at Ford field, our times at Tiger Stadium (including your wedding!), camping, tubing and a little mission with a construction gate, the list goes on and on. Your humor was a true gift and I will continue to smile on as I remember you. Keeping you close in heart sweet angel. Susan
