Born on June 8, 1971, to Peggy (Magee) and Doyle London, Lisa was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and companion.
Lisa was a lifelong learner who loved to volunteer, with a passion for teaching through Junior Achievement and giving back to her community.
She loved to travel, visiting New Orleans several times and spending time with family in Mississippi. She was a talented painter and enjoyed studying the techniques of Bob Ross.
Lisa found joy in her ferret, JimBo, her multitude of beloved cats, and music, especially Journey, Prince, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
She treasured the relationships that carried her through life’s ups and downs. She will be remembered for her resilience, her sense of humor, and the love she shared with those closest to her.
Lisa was preceded in death by her father, Doyle London; her newborn sister, Kimberly London; her brothers, Billy and Keith Goodwin; and both sets of grandparents.
She is survived by her mother, Peggy London of Waverly; her sister, Cathi (Scott) Arneson of DeWitt; her brother, Michael (Deb) London of Kearney; her fiancé, Russ Novacek of Dwight; her lifelong friend, Tina Kage of Lincoln; and many cherished nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
After a long and hard-fought journey, Lisa is finally at peace, and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
