Lisa Thompson Obituary

Our beloved Lisa Marie Thompson entered the eternal life on August 8, 2019 after a long battle with cancer. She was preceded in death by her father, Curtis Elmore Thompson and is survived by her loving family; mother Priscilla and stepfather John Troxel, brother Kris Thompson and half-brother Michael Reynolds. Lisa was born on April 23, 1966, in Glenwood Springs, CO and attended high school in Fresno, CA. Lisa graduated from Fresno State with a Bachelor's of Arts in Fashion Merchandising. Lisa became an advocate for cancer survivors after her mother's battle with breast cancer introduced her to the Susan G. Komen organization where she worked as Race Coordinator/Mission Advocate. For 20 years, Lisa devoted her life to the cause by supporting survivors and their families through continuous promotion and fundraising for breast cancer research. Visitation will be held from 3:00pm to 7:00pm at Lisle Funeral Home, 1605 L Street, Fresno, CA, corner of L Street and Calaveras. Flowers may be sent to this address in care of Lisa Thompson; charitable donations may be sent to the Cat House on the Kings.

I mirror the words of my good friend Gary. I have such fond memories of Lisa during my teenage years. She was a sweet, kind, and beautiful person. May she Rest In Peace.

Knowing you when we were 13-17, kids developing into adults, it was truly one of the great honors of my early life, to be friends with you and Alysha.

You left a legacy of kindness. I can only imagine how many people you touched over the years.

May you Rest In Peace and God bless your family.

Like many, I am just learning of Lisa's passing. I remember her beautiful eyes and smile, seemingly always happy. I am sad to learn about her passing from Cancer. May she rest in peace.

I just read about Lisa's passing - it took my breath away. Endless thanks to the family for sharing so many pictures. They brought back many years of fond memories of the sweet, funny girl I remember. Heart felt condolences to her family and close friends for whom this wound will never completely heal.

My heart is in pieces. Lisa bought my home exactly 3 years ago and she was the one I knew that God wanted to have my house. We become friends through that and I always looked forward to her pictures she would share with me of my old yard and the new things she brought the house. My prayers and condolences are with her family. My heart goes out to you and Lisa, thank you so much for becoming my friend and buying my home. I knew God put you there for a reason.

Rest in peace beautiful lady, I will always remember your smile Miss Lisa. We had some good times and rough times working on the Komen race together, but it was worth it as I meet you.

August 14, 2019

Rest in peace, beautiful friend. We were blessed with your friendship, love and support and grieve that you left us so soon, but take comfort in knowing you are in the presence of our Lord and suffer no longer. Much love from Susan and Mike.

God so blessed me the day I met you, my beautiful friend so long ago. I believe it was late summer of 71

I am selfishly heartbroken, you left this earth much too early Lisa, but I find comfort that you will always live in my heart, mind, and soul, and through all that love you as much I do.... my beautiful oldest friend.

My heart, prayers and deepest sympathies to Priscilla, Kris, John, Oliver & Jaxx .
