Moment of Honor for Lisa Kleinhans Words cannot express how saddened we are at the unexpected loss of our Lisa Kleinhans. Lisa was a great person... if you met somebody new, had a quick conversation, and walked away thinking, "I liked her. She was a good person..." that was Lisa. She was loved deeply by everyone in her family and so many friends. She loved to share and talk with her children. A call that required only a 5-minute chat would often turn into a 1 - 2 hour conversation, but they still enjoyed it. She often put her children before herself and showed how deeply she cared about them. Always being there when they needed their "mommy." She treated her daughter-in-law like her own daughter, always there to help and able to count on her. She loved animals and enjoyed caring for the cats, dogs, fish, ducks, and guinea pigs she had over her lifetime. She was a resilient, hard-working woman who never gave up on her passions. She kept pursuing projects she believed in, one step at a time, a little every day, until it was completed beautifully. Her family and close friends viewed her as a mentor who did a great job of carrying on the highly regarded traits of her mother, Astrid Kleinhans. Lisa was such a great person and a lovely woman, and she will be greatly missed by everyone that had the pleasure and honor of knowing her. Her love is everlasting. She will always be with us.
