Lisa Nicholson Obituary

Lisa Oltremari Nicholson died on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 in Metairie, La. from complications of Multiple Sclerosis. She was the daughter of Clydean Oltremari Lodewick of Placitas, New Mexico and the late Joseph Oltremari. Lisa received her education from St. Joseph Catholic School, The University of Ole Miss and Delta State University. She is survived by her sister, Karon Oltremari of Kenner, La., and various aunts, uncles and cousins including Kay Causey of Adairsville, Ga., Dr. Rutledge Taylor of Las Vegas, NV. and Benny and Sharon Strazi of Greenville, MS. Lisa had a far reaching presence which seemed to lift those who came in contact with her. We already miss her so much. As Lisa requested, no funeral service will be held. Garden of Memories Funeral Home, 4900 Airline Drive, Metairie, La. is charge of the arrangements. Online condolences maybe offered www.gardenofmemoriesfuneralhome.com.

Many memories of the times Lisa and I shared have been flooding my mind for the past week. Please know that Lisa was like a sister to me, sharing coveted secrets and enjoying life to the fullest. There are also many fond memories of spending time with all of you in the Oltremari home. You will never know how much that meant to me. Thank you for being there. Lisa was such a very dear and special friend. It is so very difficult to let go. My only comfort at this time is knowing she is now at peace.
