Lisa was born in Esslingen, Germany, where her parents met while her father was stationed overseas. Her family moved to her father’s hometown of Rockford when she was just two. Even so, Lisa has maintained strong ties to her roots and travels back to Germany every four years to visit family. She grew up in Rockford, graduated from East High School, and later made her home in Stillman Valley.

Lisa and her husband, John, have been married for 42 years. They first met at the local Skateland roller rink and have since built a wonderful life together with two children and four grandchildren.
Throughout her career, Lisa has held many roles, but her greatest passion has always been working with seniors. For the past ten years, she has been a valued member of All Life Solutions (ALS)—our care partner located inside of IVR. ALS assists residents with activities of daily living, helping them remain in their homes for as long as possible. Lisa serves as the agency manager of ALS, and we are very fortunate to have such a dedicated care partner right at our fingertips. She continues to find joy and purpose in supporting the individuals she serves.

In her free time, Lisa enjoys attending classic car shows with her own classic car, riding motorcycles, cheering on her grandchildren at their events, and indulging in chocolate.

Meet Christian ~ A Proud Member of Independence Village of Rockford family.
Born in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, Christian eventually made Rockford his home—a city that would shape much of his life. He graduated from East High School and went on to earn a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Platteville.
Christian's career as a field engineer took him on many exciting projects, but his favorite was being part of the building team for the Northwestern New Prentice Women’s Hospital. His passion for engineering was inspired early on by his father, an architect. Watching buildings take shape from the ground up always fascinated him.

After retiring in 2014, Christian began looking for a new place to call home—and that’s when he found Independence Village of Rockford. For the past seven years, he’s been a vibrant and valued part of our community.

Christian is passionate about giving back. He volunteers with both the Club and the Retired YMCA Men’s Club of Rockford. His favorite moments, however, are those spent with family—his four children and three grandchildren bring him endless joy.

When he’s not with family or volunteering, Christian enjoys billiards, bowling, card games, and gardening. He’s often seen in our courtyard tending to plants, pruning, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature.
We’re lucky to have Christian as part of our IVR family—his warmth, dedication, and community spirit brighten our lives every day! Christian is loved by all!
