In Loving Memory of Lisa Stafford (Council Bluffs, IA)
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Lisa Stafford, who left us far too soon on April 22nd, 2025. A beloved daughter, sister, and friend, Lisa’s sudden departure has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved her.
Lisa was known throughout the Council Bluffs community for her warm spirit, compassionate heart, and unwavering loyalty to those she held dear. Whether she was offering a kind word, lending a helping hand, or simply being a comforting presence, Lisa touched countless lives in meaningful ways. Her kindness and empathy were a beacon to many, and her memory will live on in the stories and smiles of those who had the privilege to know her.
As her family navigates this unimaginable loss, we ask that you hold her mother, Nancy, and her sister, Rebecca, close in your thoughts and prayers. They are enduring one of the most difficult times of their lives, and the support of the community means more now than ever before.
In an effort to honor Lisa’s life and alleviate some of the financial burdens that come with such a tragedy, Samantha Stafford has organized a fundraising effort to assist with funeral and memorial expenses. Contributions of any size are deeply appreciated and will go directly toward ensuring that Lisa is laid to rest with the dignity and love she so richly deserves.
This is not just a time to mourn, but a time to remember. To remember Lisa’s infectious laugh, her fierce love for her family, and her unwavering resilience through life’s ups and downs. Her light remains in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to cross her path.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has reached out with words of comfort, acts of kindness, or financial support. Your generosity is a testament to the impact Lisa had on this world and the legacy of love she leaves behind.
