Lisa Jo Westendorf

Lisa Jo Westendorf (Jerikovsky), lovingly known as Fergie and Big Red, passed away on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at the age of 48. A vibrant soul who brought light into every room, Lisa's presence was unforgettable-her radiant smile, fiery red hair, and magnetic beauty drew people in, and once you got to know her, that heart of gold was obvious.

Born and raised in Cromwell, Lisa later made her home in Cloquet shortly after graduation. On December 7, 2007, she married Tyler Westendorf, and together they shared the greatest joy of her life-her daughters, Ruby and Rayna. Lisa was fiercely proud of her girls, who were truly the center of her universe. The amount of joy and pride those girls brought her was immeasurable.

Lisa had a rare gift for being everything to everyone: the rock, the organizer, the problem-solver, the fierce protector, the loyal friend. Whether as a mother, daughter, sister, auntie, cousin, or friend, she gave selflessly. She never judged and had a knack for making people feel truly seen and supported.

An avid outdoorswoman, Lisa found her peace and joy outside. She cherished her time at the lake, 4-wheeling, flower gardening, boating, ice fishing, and traveling. Adventures with Corey in Alaska and countless fishing and camping trips were memories she treasured.

Professionally, Lisa was a dedicated and respected real estate agent whose integrity and strong work ethic made a lasting impression. Her success was built not just on skill, but on genuine care for the people she served.

Lisa was preceded in death by her father, Joseph; sister, Mindy; paternal grandparents, Joseph and Donna; and

She is survived by her daughters, Ruby and Rayna, children with Tyler; mother, Brenda; brothers Darin (Becky) and Chris (Alisha); sisters Sheree (Alan) and Wendy (Mike); nephews, KJ, Everett, Joey, Dominic, Easton and Barrett; nieces, Kora and Maci; significant other, Corey; maternal grandparents, Wayne and Margie Jokinen, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

She is gone way too soon from this world but has left an abundance of beautiful memories to cherish.

Visitation will be held on Friday, August 29th, 2025, at 10 am at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church (515 Skyline Blvd, Cloquet, MN) until funeral service at 12 noon. Luncheon to follow at Luther Hall at church. The family invites everyone to join them at 3 pm at Pedro's after the funeral services.
