Lisa Wallace Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 9, 2024.
Lisa Fay Wallace (McCollum), 69, of Coventry CT, passed away on February 28, 2024 with family by her side, after a long and courageous battle with a debilitating disease. She was born on March 25, 1954, growing up in Mansfield Depot, CT

Lisa was a beautiful soul inside and out. She was known for her caring and thoughtful nature, always marching to the beat of her own drum. Her kindness and helpfulness touched the lives of many.

She found joy in gardening, baking, exploring tag sales and flea markets, listening to music, loving and caring for the dogs she rescued throughout the years, cherishing moments spent with her family and friends but most of all being in the company of her beloved grandchildren.

Lisa is survived by her mother, Barbara McCollum, brothers; Jan and Lance McCollum, daughters; Lauren and Kylie Wallace and her grandchildren; Harlow Wallace, Sawyer and Stella Lafferty, Lennox, Everest and Ayla Kneeland. She was preceded in death by her father, Fay McCollum.

Lisa will be dearly missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace.

I had the pleasure knowing your mom. What a soul. I will never forget when I use to come over and her welcoming me in with open arms like we knew each other already. I was definitely really sad to hear she has passed. I guarantee that she´s with god looking down, so proud of her daughter creating beautiful daughters. I know she´s looking down and watching her beautiful daughter happy with a man that dearly loves her and both raising beautiful daughters. Until we meet again, you´ll definitely be missed.

I got to know Lisa in the mid 1970s. She was good friends with a young lady I was seeing at the time, who had been a very close friend of Lisa's since elementary school. We shared many happy moments together, laughing a lot. The young lady in question later became my wife of 44 years, and our friendship last to the end. God Bless. We love you and miss you Lisa.
