Lisa Anne Reed

Lisa Anne Cornelison Reed

August 2, 1977- January 1, 2025

Lisa loved and lived life to the fullest. She loved doing trips and other activities with her girls, loved to travel, ride her bike, run, and watching football. She was always doing something with her many friends, whom she loved. She had a very full and busy life. She is the second child of Gloria and Jerry Cornelison. In their eyes, she was very much-loved and a gift from God. Lisa was also the little sister of brother, Scott. Her Dad nicknamed her “Buggy” when she was a baby and the name stuck for many, many years. She was also very hyper and everything she did was fast.

She was blessed with two daughters, Hailey Jo and Lilly Diana, who were the pride and joy of her life. Lisa was an excellent mom and was very active in their various activities and fully supported them.

In February 2023, Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was devastated. After chemo, radiation, a double mastectomy, lots of prayers – in 2024, she became cancer free. It was one of the happiest days of her life.

Lisa’s first experience with school at the age of 4 was Aldersgate Pre School. She loved it and made new friends, some of whom are still her friends.

She then attended kindergarten thru eighth grade at St. Bernadette Catholic School; ninth thru twelfth grades at Gross High School; and then Kearney University, where she graduated from. Lisa loved participating in softball, cross-country, track, and volleyball.

She was very competitive. One of the comments from teachers was “She has so much energy, she could light up the city.” She wrote short stories and poetry. She was also a Girl Scout – loved selling those cookies, and gymnastics.

Lisa’s career days began at JC Penney’s; Sam’s Club; Lowes; and lastly Nebraska Med. She always loved her work, and most of all, the friends she made at each location, many are still good friends.

As a child she loved stuffed animals, which she had a lot of, and Legos, which she was very good at designing various projects. She also loved Strawberry Shortcake, Snow White and Dopey. She loved lemons and ate them constantly. She also had a cocker spaniel (Taffy) who she loved to play with and train.

Lisa became an avid football fan. She knew a great deal about football. In her home, she always had more than one TV on to catch a game. Her favorite teams were the Nebraska Cornhuskers and New England Patriots whose jerseys and sweatshirts were a constant attire. She also played Fantasy Football. She had a very soft spot for pets and became a fur mom to FiFi (a guinea pig), Chloe (her cat) and three dogs – Lola, Millie, and Roxy. She avidly walked her dogs around her neighborhood regardless of the weather. They were (are) very spoiled and look forward to their walks to the point you can’t use the word, walk, around her house or they would be standing at the door ready to go.

Lisa is survived (and will be sadly missed) by her daughters, Hailey Jo and Lilly Diana; parents, Gloria and Jerry Cornelison; brother, Scott (Suzanne)j; niece, Katelyn; nephew, Carson.
