Lisa A. Lapham

With profound sadness and hearts full of love, we announce the peaceful passing of Lisa Ann Lapham on June 18, 2025, surrounded by her cherished family. Her warmth, laughter, and unwavering compassion left an imprint on all who knew her.

Lisa now joins her beloved parents, Shirley and Douglas Rushford; her brothers James and Douglas Rushford; and her cherished best friend, Lisa Dashnaw. She treasured her time with each of them and carried their memory closely throughout her life.

Lisa leaves behind a legacy of love through her devoted husband and life partner of 41 years, Todd Lapham; her loving daughter Bambi Drake and son-in-law Kenneth Drake; and her pride and joy—three grandchildren, Alicen James, Adalynn James, and Asher James, who lit up her world with every smile. She is also lovingly remembered by her sisters Kelly Rostak and Mary Pelkey; her dear nephews Eddie and Joey Rostak, whose visits she looked forward to with eager anticipation and whose thoughtful gifts she treasured; along with several other beloved nieces and nephews who held special places in her heart.

A generous soul to her core, Lisa would give anything to anyone in need—without hesitation and with an open heart. Her kindness knew no bounds, and her selflessness touched lives in quiet, powerful ways. She loved helping people, often lifting spirits with her humor and radiant presence.

Lisa found joy in life’s simple pleasures: berry picking under the summer sun, kayaking across calm waters, or enjoying a lively visit to the casino. Wherever she went, laughter followed.

Her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those she touched. She was a beacon of kindness, strength, and laughter in a world that is now a little dimmer without her.
