Lisa loved the colour coral, she would buy anything if it was coral,even if it didn’t fit, she’d still buy it. It was lovely to see hundreds turn out today all wearing a splash of coral, just for her.
Even though Lisa always put herself last and hated a fuss, she would have loved her service today, she planned everything herself. From choosing L&G to take care of her funeral, to what lipstick she’d wear (coral of course), right down to choosing me to stand up to tell her story.
I met Lisa last year while we were arranging her mam’s service. Exactly one year later, I found myself sitting with her family, helping to arrange hers. It’s a powerful reminder that we never know what’s around the corner, and it makes you truly appreciate every single day we’re given.
Lisa certainly lived life to the fullest. Whether she was killing Ian’s favourite song on Karaoke, rolling over a taxi bonnet, or getting lost in Liverpool, she’d get herself into a daft situation and somehow make it into a story that everyone laughed about for years after.
Lisa adored her family. Ian was the love of her life, they shared banter for more than three decades. Her kids Melissa and Callam were her world, and becoming Nana Lisa to little Sienna was her greatest joy. She spoiled them all rotten.
Her two main hobbies were sunbathing and shopping!! If she could be on holiday, in the sun and shopping she was in her element.
She was a proper shopaholic and the amount of bags Ian has found with clothes, shoes and perfumes all with tags on is unbelievable!
She loved her life and she lived it with so much heart and kindness. She was selfless to the core, never complained, and always asked how you were doing, even when she wasn’t well herself. She was funny, honest, and had a heart of gold.
She’ll be a massive miss!!
