Lisa Plumley Obituary

PLUMLEY (ELLIOTT), Lisa Ann - Died April 15, 2008 in Vallejo, CA of stomach cancer. She was 45 years old. She is survived by her husband Rick, who lovingly cared for her and attended to her every need as she bravely battled the disease that took her from us. They were married for 16 years. Lisa leaves her adoring 14-year-old sons, Austin and Harland; her loving parent's Harland Elliott and Janet Murphy and their spouses, Carole and Jim; her dear sisters Marie and husband Tom O'Meara, Patty and husband Tom Hollowell; and her loving step-sister, Aqua and husband, Mike Baron. She was preceded in death by her Grandparent's Dora and Verle Swenston, and Sadie and Chester Elliott. Lisa leaves many dear friends, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and co-workers. Lisa was born in Petaluma, CA and grew up in Sonoma County. She attended Herbert Slater Junior High and Montgomery High School. She worked as a Waitress, Real Estate Agent and Mortgage Loan Officer. Her recent position was Bartender and Waitress at the Warehouse Café in Port Costa, CA. She was a bright and loving spirit that lit up a room when she walked into it. People often commented on her beautiful blue eyes and her brilliant smile. Family gatherings will be dull without her, the fun always started when Lisa arrived. She was caring and loving to her parents, her siblings and her friends. Shortly before her death she told her sons that the proudest thing she ever did was having them in her life. Her biggest regret was not being there as they graduated from school, married and had her grandchildren. They will miss her so much. A Celebration of her life will be held at the Warehouse Café , 5 Canyon Dr., Port Costa CA 94569 on May 17th at noon. The main course will be provided and people are asked to bring a side dish. Please check her Blog site at http://lplumleysangels.blogspot.com for further information. If desired, donations may be made in lieu of flowers to a fund set up for Rick and the boys, in care of Janet Murphy, 126 Redwing Dr. Santa Rosa, CA 95409-4121
