Lisa Benes Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Lisa was the middle child growing up. Spent her time always around her sisters, cousins and extended family. Whether it was family vacations, youth group events or family parties, she was always there. Lisa spent her working years in the banking industry before marrying Craig in 1989.
Lisa always was the person to help in any way and every way she could. Always thinking and worrying about everyone but herself. Her children, Margaret and Brett, were her entire universe. She always was the mom at every award ceremony, baseball game, youth group event and so much more. Everything Lisa did revolved around family. Her infectious smile and undeniable love was felt everywhere she went. Even when times grew difficult in recent years, she still tried her very hardest. Lisa definitely was one of a kind and will be missed dearly.
