Lisa Patnode Obituary
Lisa Rae Patnode of Sammamish,
WA passed away on July 23, 2013 at the young age of 30, after an 8 year battle with brain cancer. "Lil Lis" excelled in the classroom as well as on the athletic field. She graduated in 2001 from Eastlake High School and then earned her Bachelor of Science from Central Washington University in 2005 with a major in Information Technology and Administrative Management. Her determination in academics was matched, if not exceeded, by her love of soccer. Like many of her friends, Lisa first discovered her passion in the Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association. With an aggressive playing style she continued to progress, playing on both the "FC Elite" select program and three years on the Eastlake High varsity team. She worked at Bellevue Pro Sports Club throughout high school and college. The depth of our love has become enriched to a greater level while caring for our daughter during her latest battle. All will miss her wonderful smile, joyful personality and radiant spirit! She is survived by her parents, Chris and Tom Patnode (Sammamish, WA) and her brother Craig Patnode (New Hope, MN).
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday July 29, 2013 at Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church with reception to follow located at 22818 SE 8th St in Sammamish, WA 98074. In lieu of flowers, the family is suggesting that donations be made in memory of Lisa to the Chris Elliott Fund: www.chriselliottfund.org.

Dear Chris and Tom,
I am so saddened by the news of Lisa's passing. I was her fourth grade teacher at Redmond Elementary and I remember her as this beautiful petite bundle of energy that could light up the room with her smile. I can still picture her in my mind as an inquisitive little nine-year old who loved life. She was smart as can be and a great friend to everyone. My heart is breaking for the loss of your beautiful girl. Your family is in my prayers.

I taught Lisa when she was a sophomore at Eastlake. She was in my history class and she never stopped laughing EXCEPT to cut someone off at the knees if they were being mean. She was so smart and funny. I remember one presentation she gave on an artist and his impact on history. She said the name wrong at first and then couldn't stop laughing every time she said it. Everything she said was perfect but she gave the entire presentation giggling. It was wonderful. I am so sad to hear of her death. I can't imagine the pain of your loss. My love to all of you.
