Lisa Dobbins-Rea Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Lisa was known for being a loving, hardworking mother, poopoo, and best friend. She never knew a stranger and was always the life of the party. She always put everyone's needs before her own. You would find her cooking at Lowell Elementary by day and bartending the Whipple by night where everyone knew and loved her.
Lisa is survived by her daughter, Erica (Shawn), son Bradlee, grandbaby-mama Destinee, and her grandchildren who she loved more than life: Raylan (chunky-monkey), Sophie (chicken-nugget), and Layne (pork-chop). She will be forever missed by her family and friends, who will continue to carry on her stories and memory.
Everyone who knew Lisa knew she uplifted every situation and didn't like to mope around. Per her wishes, there will not be any funeral services. Instead, we will be having a big "Hooplah" in her memory on her 50th birthday weekend (Sat. May 24, 2025) at the Wrangler Tavern. Bring your best stories and memories of her, drink a beer and SMD.
We love you Mom/Poopoo.
McClure-Schafer-Lankford Funeral Home is assisting the family and online condolences may be sent at www.Lankfordfh.com.
