Her pets brought her immense joy and comfort and were always treated as part of the family. Also surviving her are her boys Luke Newhouse, Seth Constance, and Wyatt Constance. They were the light of her life and she was fiercely proud of them.
There are many friends, family, neighbors and coworkers that she leaves behind who will treasure the memories they’ve made with her and honor her legacy everyday.
She had a kind and generous spirit that flowed into everyone she came in contact with. Her friends were not just friends they were her chosen family. She had a way of making you feel special and could make everything more fun just by being there. She loved adventures and traveling and especially her time in Florida these past few winters.
Lisa will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering loyalty will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She leaves behind a world that is a little less bright without her, but her memory will forever be a guiding light.
