Lisa attended school in McPherson and Marquette, Kansas. She was a beloved mother,
grandmother, sister, and friend, known for her gentle spirit and unique ability to make others
feel truly heard and loved. Her kindness and compassion left a lasting impact on everyone she

and dedication positively impacted countless lives. She later worked at Angel Arms Home
Health and McPherson Hospital, from which she retired.
She was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, honoring the military
service of her father and brother.
In retirement, Lisa found immense joy in caring for her grandson Bradley. She fully embraced
her love for the outdoors, whether camping at the lake, watching meteor showers, or spending
quiet moments in nature, she found peace and happiness in the simple pleasures of life.
A volunteer at Save and Share, a local non-profit thrift store, Lisa was committed to giving back
to her community. She will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and the love she shared
with those around her.
