Lisa Ann Hillebrand

The Lord brought Lisa Ann Hillebrand into this world on April 17th, 1972. She was the firstborn of two sisters to their parents: Guy Clinton Ashworth and the late Charlene Darville, along with her brother: Paul Ashworth of Guy C. Ashworth and Betty Ashworth.

I met Lisa in June of 1991. It did not take long to realize that I had met my soulmate, and we quickly fell in love. We woke up, I looked at her and asked if she would marry me. We immediately went to the courthouse and became husband and wife. We married on August 22nd, 1994, the day after my birthday. Lisa gave birth to our son, Thomas Cain Hillebrand, on December 4th, 1996. I have never seen a woman so proud, so elated, and light up so much having a child. She truly showed me how much a mother can be to a child. We moved from West Palm Beach, Florida, to Athens, Tennessee, in the year 2000. Lisa gave birth to our daughter, Adele M. Hillebrand, on April 8th, 2003. Once again, her life was whole with another child, whom she cherished and was so proud to be a mother to a second child. She now had a son and a daughter. Lisa could walk into any room or situation and make everyone light up and smile. If you ever spent a minute with her, you could understand why her nickname was "Sunshine".

She knew every aspect of being the perfect lady, wife, mother, and my best friend; she was truly a gift from God. Lisa was my heart. Lisa was a mother who absolutely cherished her children. She truly was the heart and soul of our family. I have never known a woman so perfect, and with such a beautiful smile that you could see she was a kind, gentle, exquisite, lovely woman. Even her name, Lisa Ann, is beautiful. I loved her voice, her hair, and her eyes; they were not just one color; they had rings of different colors like a rainbow, absolutely gorgeous windows into her heart and soul, and see that Lisa was made from God's love. Lisa gave me two beautiful children and 34 years of her precious life, and I will cherish every minute of it.

The Lord called Lisa Ann Hillebrand back to heaven to be with her mother: Charlene M. Darville, and stepfather: Dale M. Darville.

Lisa once dreamed that when she was called back to Heaven, her job would be to pass out bread, and I know that is what she's doing. She always wanted to help and give a piece of herself to people. Lisa was deeply loved by so many people, and she will be forever missed.

Lisa is survived by her husband: Matthew A. Hillebrand, son: Thomas C Hillebrand, daughter: Adele M. Hillebrand, sister: Tricia Hoggatt, brother: Paul Ashworth, her father: Guy C. Ashworth, stepmother: Tina Ashworth, and her stepmother: Betty Ashworth.

I will forever miss you, my love, until we can be together again.

There will be no formal services at this time.
