Lisa Crain Obituary

On the afternoon of November 21st, 2021, Lisa Michelle Crain's battle with cancer came to an end at the age of just 51. Born on August 29th, 1970, Lisa was the most kind, generous, intuitive person on Earth. She had a heart of gold and was always equipped with an infectious smile. She was not only the perfect mother to her own children, but she was also everybody's mom. She touched every person she came into contact with and will leave a massive hole in her community, her workplace, and her family. Left to cherish her beautiful memory are her heartbroken children, Morgan Girucky (Daniel), Audrey Crain, and Anna Leonard; her devastated father, Jim Manning, and baby sister Lori Leek (Mike); her loving grandson, Colin Girucky; her precious nieces, who she loved like children, Kallie Raymond and Katrina Raymond; her mother Debbie Groves; and her greatest friends at Captain George's, Beach Cinema Alehouse, and Beach Pub.

Lisa leaves behind many other family members and friends who adored her and will miss her terribly. Lisa was predeceased by and is reunited with her treasured son, Jimmy Crain, whose loss from which she never recovered. Her family would like to thank everyone for loving her and for remaining by their sides throughout this terrible ordeal.

Lisa's service will be held on Friday, December 3rd, 2021, at 2pm at Virginia Beach United Methodist Church, 212 19th Street, in Virginia Beach. Following the service will be a reception to celebrate her life at Just George's, 1956 Laskin Road, in Virginia Beach.

Morgan, Audrey and Anna may remember me as Teacher Marti, from Friends School. I met Lisa in !995 when she brought Morgan to visit my classroom. She enrolled Morgan for the 95-96 school year. Lisa then trusted me with Jimmy, Audrey and Anna, teaching each of her children in Pre-kindergarten. I came to know Lisa Crain as a fierce advocate for her children. She wanted them to have the best possible start in school so she did her research and brought each of them to Friends School. It was my privilege to nurture her children. I had such admiration for Lisa and offer my sincere condolences and love to the family. I will attend her service and hope to speak to each of her daughters.
