Lisa M. (Toof) Pawnell, 57, of Gonic passed away on Friday, August 18, 2023 after a long courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family. She was born on July 21, 1966, in Rochester, NH to Paul and Ann (Day) Toof.
Lisa attended and graduated from Spaulding High School, class of 1984. Lisa was a friendly face that was always smiling. She had the biggest heart and would do anything she could for her loved ones. She also was loved by many. This served her well as she was employed by Dunkin Donuts for over 34 years. Over the last few years her passions grew from spending time in her garden, and dining out with her significant other James Patch, to spending time with family and friends, and cooking meals together. Lisa also put her heart and soul into caring for Rebel and Dixie, her beloved dogs.
Survivors include siblings Richard and Kim Toof of Florida, Cheryl and Wade Evans of New Durham, Darlene and Tom Leighton of Farmington and Jeff and Stacy Toof of Rochester. Many nieces and nephews she loved deeply and will be missed by all.
Services: A Celebration of Life is being planned for Sunday, September 3 from 1:00 – 5:00 PM at the Governor's Inn, 78 Wakefield Street, in Rochester. In Lieu of flowers the family asks that a charitable donation be made in Lisa's name to the American Cancer Society.
