Lisa was born on January 25, 1969, in Lafayette. Lisa had a passion for learning and graduated from high school in the Class of 1987. She was full of life and loved to spend her time outdoors. Lisa enjoyed fishing with her family and friends and would never pass up a good cookout.
In addition to being an avid outdoorswoman, Lisa was also a dedicated volunteer at Parks Primary School. She always had a smile on her face and brought so much joy to everyone she met.
Above all else, Lisa's greatest joy came from spending time with her children and grandchildren.
Her passing leaves a void in our hearts, but we take solace in the beautiful memories we shared with her. She was an incredible woman with a zest for life that was infectious. To know her was to love her, and she made an impact on so many lives.
She is survived by her parents, Rodney and Barbara Arceneaux Poirier; son, Tony Thomas, Jr. (Shelby); daughter, Heather Thomas (Jafet); brother, Rodney "T-Rod" Poirier (Amanda); sister, Jodie Poirier; niece, Katy Poirier; nephew, Daylon Poirier; grandchildren, Erika Espinoza and Evelyn Espinoza; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Tony Thomas, Sr.; paternal grandmother, Euphemie Romero Poirier; paternal grandfather, Julian Poirier; maternal grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Forrest Arceneaux; and numerous aunts and uncles.
Pallbearers will be Tony Thomas, Jr., Heather Thomas, Rodney "T-Rod" Poirier, Jr. Daylon Poirier, Cory Zeringue, and Nicholas Gonzales.
Honorary pallbearers will be Felix Duplechain, Jafet Espinoza, Troy Thomas, Jeff Laperouse, Mark Segura, Donald "T-Don" Poirier, Jr., Ryan Gonzales and Wayne Mautrin.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff at The Carpenter House.
