Lisa Deeter Obituary
MILLBURY - Lisa Marie (Havalotti) Deeter, 48, died Friday, April 3rd, 2015 at the UMASS Memorial Medical Center in Worcester.
She leaves her husband of 30 years, Michael E. Deeter Sr.; three children, Nicole M., Michael Jr. and Mark R. Deeter all of Millbury; two granddaughters, Payton Marie Deeter and Piper Lee Ellis; her father, Richard Havalotti and his wife Nancy of Deland, Florida; her mother, Marilyn Geldart and her husband Richard of Grafton; a brother, Richard Havalotti of Grafton; four step-sisters, Ann Geldart and Debbie Robichaud both of Rochdale, Lynn Geldart and Doreen Wood both of Worcester; two step-brothers, James Geldart of Worcester and Todd Chartier of Deland, Florida; nephews and nieces.
Lisa was born in Worcester and grew up in Grafton, where her and Mike lived for several years before buying a home and moving to Millbury. Lisa was very involved in Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading, as a coach for her daughter Nicole's cheerleading and a Team mom for both Michael and Mark's football teams for over a decade. Lisa was a supervisor at UPS and The Disney store for many years, up until she was injured, which ultimately led to her retiring. After her injury Lisa worked at the Millbury Fish and Chip until December of last year.
Her granddaughters and grandsons, Dylan and Ayden, who couldn't say Lisa, would call her "Sa". She would say I love you to the moon and back to them. For those that knew Lisa, know that she would never turn away someone in need and at her house there was never an empty room. Lisa loved her family very much, it didn't matter if you were blood or if you lived under our house, you were family. She was a fearlessly strong woman who was as kind and giving to the point of going without for herself. She loved and was loved. Lisa will be missed by many.
Lisa's calling hours will be held on Thursday, April 9th from 5 to 8 p.m. in Mulhane Home for Funerals, 45 Main St. in Millbury. To leave a special message or memory for the family in Lisa's online condolence book please visit:

I met Lisa many years ago when Nicole was a student in my kindergarten class at South Grafton Elementary School. I can still remember how devoted Lisa was to her children. It was with great sadness that I read of Lisa's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the Deeter family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To my sister, you are no longer suffering you are free from pain and suffering. My heart breaks for so many reasons... our parents shouldn't have to mourn the loss of a child. Your husband shouldnt be a widower... my niece and nephews shouldn't be burying their mom and those beautiful grand babies shouldn't be burying their grandmother. We are all suffering your loss noone more than the love of your life... We understand and cannot be selfish in the fact that it was a huge fight to fight. We all wanted to take it from you there is not a doubt about it. We love you to the moon and back again. You will always be with us here on earth we've felt your presence with us all in different ways. We know that you are have arrived in the heavens above you let us know... my promise to you will always be within me til we meet again... We as your siblings will be there always for yours so you don't need to worry we all love each and everyone of you... Rest easy Angel... we love you for eternity.. being the oldest sucks and isn't fair either as I feel like I shouldnt be saying goodbye to a sibling either it breaks my heart... Rest Easy Angel knowing we all got your back with family til we meet again.... your Big Sis...
