Lisa was born on September 19, 1967. She was

the youngest girl of 14 brothers & sisters. She

grew up on her mom’s dairy farm right outside of

Othello.

She met the love of her life, Jeff, in the 80’s and

finally tied the knot in 1988. They welcomed their

son, Zachery in 1989 and their daughter,

Maranda in 1995.

While Lisa stayed home to raise their children,

she opened a home daycare for about 10 years.

She had a huge heart and fell in love with each

child she cared for, as did they.

When her daycare days were over, she worked in

many different jobs, including caregiving for

another 10+ years. You see she loved working

with people and cherished the relationships they

built. But above all else, she wanted to be very

present for her husband, children and

eventually, grandchildren too.

Lisa had a love for the traditions she & Jeff were

creating for her children and grandchildren. We

would say her hobbies included gardening – she

had a variation of flowers that would bloom

almost all year long. She also loved decorating

for every season, every holiday, and making

every occasion memorable for that specific

person, whether it was a birthday, school award

or graduation. She made sure to always be there!

And she made sure you felt loved and special.

Lisa’s departure leaves a hole in the hearts of all

those who loved her. She was blessed with an

abundance of family. So many nieces and

nephews, siblings, in laws and friends that

became family.

Lisa passed away peacefully on Thursday,

November 24 th at Kadlec Hospital in Richland,

WA with her husband, son and daughter-in-law,

and daughter and son-in law at her side.

Lisa is survived by her devoted husband of 37

years, Jeffery Lewis, and her two children. Her

son Zachery Lewis & Jacklyn Wilhelm & their

children, Aaliyah Marie, Ethan Nathaniel, &

Sidney Lyn Wilhelm, & her daughter Maranda

Dawn & Erik Taylor

And their daughter, Sophie Aldon Taylor.

Lisa is preceded in death by her beloved mother,

Marguerite, big sister, Nancy, and big brother,

Glen.
