GAUTHUN, Lisa Ann Our beloved angel, Lisa Ann Gauthun, succumbed to a long courageous battle with Cancer on Saturday, September 21, 2013. Lisa was 45 years old, born in Federal Way, WA on November 14, 1967. She died peacefully at her home in Colbert, WA with her loving partner by her side. She graduated from Federal Way High School in 1986 and went on to study Pharmacy at WSU, where she met her future husband, Jay Mehring. Together they gave birth to two sons, Matt and Jared. She started practicing as a Pharmacist in Clarkston WA, then moved to Jones Pharmacy in Deer Park, WA, Shopko and finished her career at Target of Spokane. Lisa moved to her current home in Colbert WA in 1995 where she raised her two boys. Lisa's first battle with breast cancer started 13 years ago and from that moment she devoted herself tirelessly to conquering this ravaging disease. She formed her own non-profit, Survivor Chick, which she used to help fund many cancer organizations. Along the way she gave countless hours supporting and comforting other women struggling with breast cancer in a way that only Lisa could. Her genuine love and compassion for people endeared herself to so many who call her friend. Lisa's caring nature touched more people than even she could imagine. She was preceded in death by her mother Susan Diane Powers, her father Gayle Harris Gauthun, her brother Guy Harris Gauthun, and her beloved uncle Steve Powers. Her love and wonderful spirit continued through the countless losses she sustained. In support of her brother Guy, Lisa opened her home to his son Brandon. She is survived by her two loving sons Matthew and Jared Mehring; their father Jay Mehring; her loving partner Rob Martin and his family; her sister Tanya Chamberlain; her brothers Randy and Chuck Winders; her cousin Carla Mottola; many nieces, nephews and friends whose lives she touched deeply. Lisa will be missed enormously by all that knew her. Memorial Service will be held at 2PM on Saturday September 28, 2013 at Real Life Ministries, 10101 N. Nevada St. Spokane, WA 99218. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Christ Clinic of Spokane, Camp Spalding or Young Survivors Coalition. If you cannot attend and still wish to send your thoughts and condolences to Lisa's family send to P.O Box 289 Colbert, WA 99005-0289. In honor of Lisa's fight against cancer we ask for attendees to wear some form of pink. Lisa will live on in our hearts forever.

You had so much love in your heart and shared that with so many people. You helped my sister Laura, she had the same kind of cancer. You put her name on the T-shirt and gave me one. You talked to my brother to get help for his cancer, but he chose to do nothing. I lost three siblings from cancer you helped me a lot and reminded me to take care of me. Your heart is so full of love. Lisa you had your wings here on earth and now in heaven. I will miss you so much. Matthew and Jared may you feel peace and remember your mom is with you always.

I first met Lisa and her beautiful spirit at the first Eastern WA Race for the Cure. She had her Survivor Chick booth all pinked up and ready to help the cause. She was so inspirational in all that she gave - her time, her compassion, her spirit, her energy. Lisa touched so many lives and her beautiful spirit will be missed by so many. My heart and prayers go out to all of her family and friends. She was a gift and taught us how to live.

Lisa will forever be in my thoughts. I loved her brother Guy when he was married to my Aunt. The son they shared, Brandon is the light of my life and what Lisa has done for him is one of the kindest most selfless acts anyone could do. She has changed his future and shaped the person he has become. I'm so proud of him for taking in everything she had to offer because her guidance, love and patience will allow him to become a great man. May Lisa's wings in heaven be forever PINK. My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved her. Say Hi to Guy for me Lisa!
