Lisa Whisenant Harrigan of Scottsdale, Arizona, a loving wife, mother, stepmother and beloved friend to many ascended to heaven November 13th, 2022 after a long battle with ALS.
Lisa leaves behind husband Rob, son Jake, stepchildren Cutter and Kelsey, mother Marilyn and brothers David and Rick. Lisa's life was consumed by her selfless, loving care for her family, friends and doggies.
Lisa was born and raised near the beach of costal southern California. Growing up there with her mother and two brothers she developed a strong love for the sun, sand and ocean. Lisa moved on to Texas where she met her first husband Randall Whisenant and found her love for hairspray and big hair. In 1996 in Scottsdale, Arizona she gave birth to her only child Jake. Randall passed in 2001, leaving Lisa, a single mother, to raise Jake in the selfless loving way. She raised Jake to be the man his father would be very proud of.
In 2007 she married her second husband Rob Harrigan. Lisa and Rob created a blended family with Rob's children Kelsey and Cutter. Lisa and Rob made lifelong memories together while raising their family.
Lisa was a woman of God and devoted to her Christian faith until the day the Lord wrapped his loving arms around her and took her to Heaven. Her strength and resilience came from her never wavering belief that she would enter eternal life with Jesus Christ. Lisa rested easy knowing that joyous reunions would be awaiting her at Heaven's Gates.
The family has requested any donations be made to the Arizona ALS association.
