1967 ~ 2018
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our much loved and adored Lisa.
Lisa is survived by her wife Holly, parents Paul and Rosemarie, brother Duane (David), sister Candace, father in-law Casmir, sisters in-law Christine (David) and Marilyn (Trevor), nieces Payton (Scott) and Kaitlyn, nephews Quincy, Cameron and Nicholas as well as numerous family and friends. She is predeceased by her godfather Marion, cousin Dale and mother in-law Bonnie.
Lisa was born and raised in Beausejour. As a kid she enjoyed a free range childhood. She started playing baseball at an early age and it was her passion until too many injuries forced her to stop. After graduating from high school she began a 30+ year career with the City of Winnipeg where she made many life long friends.
Lisa’s other passion was her fur babies, so we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Craig Street Cats, 16-1421 St. James St, Winnipeg, MB R3H 0Y9, or a pet shelter of one’s choice.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 31 at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Ave. E in Beausejour.

To Holly, Mr. & Mrs. Baker and families
From Pastor Richard’s confirmation classes, to grad 1985 and all those typing classes Lisa and I shared many fun memories. She tolerated my baseball technique during those early “Wildcat” years and shared many a laugh and story from graduation year. She brightened many lives including mine. She was a loyal and kind soul and so many people were blessed to have known her. My thoughts are with you all.

So sorry for your loss. I found comfort in the following verse. I hope that in time it may also provide the same for you.
“Grief never ends. But with time it does change. It is a passage which leads you to another place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor lack of faith. It is the price of LOVE.”
Lisa will be missed and lovingly remembered.
