Lisa King Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 4, 2025.
Lisa Marie King, age 62, passed away on January 16, 2025, after a short battle with cancer.

Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Lisa was the daughter of Peter and Elaine King. Her early years were filled with extensive travel before she settled in Green, Ohio, where she spent much of her adult life. She earned a degree in medical transcription and dedicated many years of service to the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office.

Lisa was preceded in passing by her older brother, David, and her longtime friend, Beth Ann Battista. She is survived by her daughter, Ariana Grady (Kris); her brother, Kevin; her sister, Jennifer Bittner (John); as well as extended family and friends.

Lisa had a deep love for dogs and cared for many throughout her life. She was also known for her artistic touch in creating beautiful flower gardens and took great pride in maintaining a perfectly mowed lawn.

Donations in Lisa's memory may be made to One Of A Kind Pet Rescue at www.oneofakindpets.com. Cremation has taken place, and interment at Foxfield Preserve will be held at a later date.

Sympathy and love to the King family. My sister Beth Ann and Lisa were best friends here on earth and now forever in Heaven. I can't imagine what they are getting into. We miss so much but we will see them again.

Lisa and I grew up together as neighbors on Berna Rd. She was a good friend all through our years of school in Green. I lost track of her after graduation and thought about her many times. My heart goes out to Jennifer, Kevin and her daughter. Lori Drugan

Lisa and I grew up on the same street (Berna) and reconnected as adults when her daughter was about 2 and I had small children. I really enjoyed the season that we shared. Praying for comfort and peace for Ariana and Jennifer as they navigate life without her.

Deepest Sympathies to Lisa´s family, Ariana, Jennifer and David. Just happened to see the obituary notice and so sorry that I didn´t know sooner. Will remember Lisa always and forever being so nice to everyone including me. Many late nights spent talking to Lisa and Mrs. King changed my path in life, all for the better.
Will miss her. Darrel Burket
