Lisa Baumgardner Obituary

Lisa Baumgardner

Sept. 18, 1963 - Aug. 13, 2023

Today on August 13, 2023, we said our goodbye, (until later) when we will be with you, to our beautiful daughter, mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Lisa Baumgardner.

Born on September 18, 1963, to Donald Lee and Angela Baumgardner Fordham and baby sister to brother, Stephen (Deb) Boise, brother, Michael (deceased 1980, Melva), sister, Gail (deceased, Steven) Abernathy (deceased 1994), brother, Don Baumgardner (Jan) Boise, sister, Dana (Wayne) Marsh Boise, and lil brother, Gerry Blake (Pam) Utah.

She attended schools in Elko, Stead, California, Boise, and briefly at the College of Southern Idaho.

Lisa was married briefly to Edward Long and had two beautiful daughters: PJ and Crystal. She was totally blessed to have two wonderful dads, Don Baumgardner and Gerry Fordham, along with her partner, Mac Brown, and his beautiful daughters; Angela Quintana, Jerri Robles, Stephanie (deceased), and Marie Brown, along with several family members, uncle Jim Archuleta (Colorado) and aunt Gloria (Colorado), aunt Helen (Philp) (Colorado), and aunt Linda (Jim, Nevada) her best friend, Randy Schwade (Best Friend, California), the loves of her life, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews, cousins, friends, and of course her mother, Angela Fordham and Gerry D. Fordham

She loved hunting, fishing, the mountains and the ocean. She also loved music and had a passion for writing.

Lisa knew no strangers; she had more love in her body for everyone than most people. She was beautiful inside and outside and will be horribly missed. She is loved so very much; a memorial will be announced at a later date.
