Lisa – A Celebration of Life

Lisa was an extraordinary self-advocate and a tireless advocate for others. She had a big heart, high standards, and a strong sense of what was right—and she was never afraid to speak up.

Lisa cherished her family and her beloved animal companions, and her compassion for others truly knew no bounds. She was the kind of person who left a lasting impression wherever she went—if you had the privilege of knowing Lisa, you likely carry a story or two about her with you.

Through her genuine presence and positive outlook, Lisa touched the lives of countless people. She will be remembered as a strong self‑advocate and spokesperson for many, a loyal friend, an animal lover, and an enthusiastic party planner. In fact, Lisa had been joyfully planning her 40th birthday celebration in May well before Christmas—a reflection of her love of bringing people together.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone at the Sunbeam Community who contributed to Lisa’s well-being over the years.

As we remember her on her 40th birthday, we celebrate her legacy of advocacy, love, and connection.
