Lisa Ann Monroe

Lisa Ann Monroe
Born May 2, 1966, entered the Spirit World on March 11, 2025. Lisa was born in Minneapolis, MN to Valerian "Diggers" Monroe and Margaret "Wicky Leith" Monroe. Lisa grew up in South Minneapolis and had 2 children before she moved to Cass Lake when she was in her late 20's. There she met Derrick Harper and made a life and family with him for many years. Lisa was known and loved by many, she was a beloved Mother, Sister, daughter and much loved cousin and friend. Her caring nature led her to a fulfilling career as a Personal Care Assistant and she made many lifelong friends of her patients & their families.
Lisa had an artistic spirit and enjoyed drawing, Calligraphy and beading. She enjoyed watching crime shows and Soap Operas on TV and going to the Casino(s) for her weekly comps, lots of times winning (and knowing enough to leave). Many times you could find her at home playing cards & dice with family and friends while having a few beers. She mostly enjoyed playing with her grandchildren when they came over and she loved them all very dearly.
Lisa will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her three daughters, Blaze Casebolt, Channa Casebolt and Ashley Harper, her life partner Derrick Harper, son-in-laws Aaron Stoneburg, Duane Guilford, Tim Goodman, sisters Debbie Monroe, Vala Monroe, Stacy Monroe and Leslie Monroe, her beloved Grandchildren, Ziibi Guilford, Timiriana Goodman, Terrick Goodman and Binesi Stoneburg. Lisa has many cousins but there are a few special ones she was very close to, Wally Sargent Rea, Dallas Sargent and Baby Irene LaRoque as well as many other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends too numerous to list. She had a special nephew, Alan "Froggy" Monroe and some special friends, Theresa "Treefrog" Jourdain and Sharlene Harper.
Those greeting Lisa in the Spirit World are her parents, Valerian and Margaret Monroe, her infant daughter Madison Harper, nieces Dawn Monroe, Jessica Monroe, nephew Marshall Skinaway, Aunts Maxine Leith, Nancy Fairbanks, Susie (Delores) Sargent, Sandra Chase, cousins Tom Fairbanks, Guy Fairbanks, Tammy Fairbanks, Chris Roy, Robert Roy, special friends Debbie Harper, Tom and Stan Hare, Monica Johnson, Bonnie Earth and Joe Jones.
Services will be held on Saturday, March 22 from 1:00-8:00 PM at the White Earth Family Center office at 217 2 St. NW, Cass Lake, MN.
