Lisa was mother to Brandon, Tyler, Sumner, Carter, Caleb, and Cole. She and Randy raised them with sacrificial and unconditional love.
Lisa was the happiest when her home was filled with family, friends, and laughter. Lisa loved watching the boys play baseball, playing bocce ball with her family, and making caps for newborns at her hospital.

Randy and family-I’m praying for you during the heartbreak of losing Lisa. I worked with her at Richard Young and she was one of my favorite people. She was intelligent, a hard worker, empathetic, a problem-solver ,and fun . Being around her was one of the highlights of my day. Heavens gain is this worlds loss
Lisa has left a print in all our hearts. Her love for family showed by her sharing stories, pictures and by the way she expressed how important they were to her. She was a hardworking nurse and team player. I will miss her laughter, crazy comments and facial expressions. She could just look at me and I’d know what she was thinking. She will be missed Forever in our hearts my friend. Praying for peace and understanding for her family and friends during this time.
I’m so sorry to hear of Cindy’s loss! She was a treasure to work with in labor and delivery, and I really enjoyed our chats! Prayers to her family!
My heart goes out to you Randy and your family, I know Lisa & I would have had so many laughs but I know she’s rolling her eyes down💕 at you.

Condolences. My favorite redheaded niece. An Angel on earth and now an Angel in heaven.
My deepest sympathies are with you at this difficult time. Her legacy will live on forever in your incredible family
I am sending my sympathy in the loss of your dear wife and mother. I know she was so proud of her boys. I’m a cousin of the Pontier guys and met Lisa through my aunt Florence DeVries and then we found each other again through my sister, Lois. Then we touched base occasionally on social media. She will surely be missed. She brought such joy. My condolences.
