It is with heavy hearts that we share that Lisa passed away peacefully with Paul by her side, on October 2, 2024, after a short, but valiant battle with cancer.

From the time Lisa was a little girl she captured a piece of everyone’s heart with her outgoing personality and beautiful smile. She will be forever remembered for her incredible generosity and caring. She was an amazing cook and host and was the first to reach out if anyone needed help
Lisa loved her work and was proud of her many accomplishments. She was an inspirational leader and so proud of her team.
She enjoyed spending time with Paul, her family, and particularly enjoyed their travels together.

Lisa ❤️ was truly a caring, outgoing, sincere, dedicated, knowledgeable and complete person I have known since 1995 and have had the privilege of directly working with for the past 9 years. My sincere condolences to her beloved family and many friends at a very difficult time.

Dear Lisa, I’m deeply saddened by your passing. We met at 19, when we were servers at The Oak and Barrel and ended up moving in together at my familys home. You were there for me, especially when my dad was ill and then passed. You supported me, made me laugh, and were a true friend. Even though we didn’t see each other often after that, I always thought fondly of you and the fun times we shared. When we connected again at Alison and Marks wedding, I was so glad to see you and know that Alison and the kids would have you in their life.
You will be greatly missed and I will always carry the memories of our friendship with me. Sending hugs to your famil, Laurie Anne Faulkner Myerscough

Don and I are so very sorry to hear of your recent loss. We didn’t know Lisa well or for very long but she made an impression on us that we will cherish forever.
