Lisa Michele Willis, born December 26, 1964, in Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on November 18, 2025, in Baltimore. She was 60 years old.
Lisa was known for her generous heart and her stubborn streak-qualities that made her both endearing and unmistakably strong. Her kindness, resilience, and love for her family shaped the lives of all who knew her.
She was the daughter of the late Merrill Willis and of Marianne Crouch, and the cherished stepdaughter of Matthew Crouch. Lisa was a devoted mother to her daughter, Michele Sturgill, and a loving mother-in-law to Michele's husband, Luke Heckel. Her grandchildren, Brandt Heckel and Todd Heckel, were her pride and joy.
Lisa is also survived by her sister, Sloan Willis, and her brother-in-law, Scott Dawkins, along with extended family and friends who will remember her with deep affection.
She leaves behind a legacy of warmth, strength, and unwavering love that will continue to live through her family.
In remembrance of her life, the family asks that any charitable donations be made to BARCS, Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter. https://www.barcs.org/donate
