Lisa spent the last couple years traveling the world with the love of her life by her side. Lisa will be greatly missed by her family and friends and will be remembered for the way her smile could light up a room and her humor could bring you to your knees. As a nurse, Lisa worked for a stint in hospice care and she shared that she would always open a window after a patient passed to allow their soul to be set free, so open a window and think of Lisa.

We will be celebrating Lisa’s life at the Bucksport / Fort Knox KOA at 32 Leaches Point Road Orland, ME on Sunday, July 9th at 11am. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you honor her giving spirit and consider donating to Heifer International. Arrangements by Kiley & Foley Funeral Service, Bangor and Brewer.
