Lisa Louise McKinniss September 20, 1961 – November 12, 2025

With deep love and heavy hearts, the family of Lisa Louise McKinniss announces her passing on November 12, 2025. Born on September 20, 1961, Lisa lived a life marked by strength, warmth, and unwavering devotion to her family.

Lisa was the beloved mother of Nick (Amanda) Raffensberger, Katrina (Jeremy) Youngquist, and Elizabeth Raffensberger. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Michael and Joshua Britton, Ryder Raffensberger, Remington (Nathan), Jersey and Collins Youngquist, and Wyatt and Addisyn Steier. Her grandchildren were her greatest joy, and she cherished every moment she spent with them.

Lisa is also survived by her siblings, Mona (Noel) McKinniss, Stephanie (Ross) Cater, and Joseph (Sandra) McKinniss, as well as numerous nieces and nephews who adored her.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Geraldine Alwin Addis and her father, Owen Joseph McKinniss.

Lisa dedicated many years of service to the United States Postal Service. She worked hard and took pride in her role until health challenges required her to step away. Outside of work, Lisa found peace and happiness in the sunshine and the outdoors. She loved spending time with her family, who were truly the center of her world.

Lisa will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her resilience, and the love she poured into everyone around her. Her presence leaves a lasting impact, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

No public services will be held at this time. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Online condolences may be sent to www.lewisgillum.com.
