Lisa Anne Freytag-Smith

Lisa Anne Freytag-Smith, age 61 of Albion passed away suddenly on Friday, September 22, 2023. She was born November 10, 1961 in Adrian Michigan to Jerome and Marsha (Eickhoff) Freytag. She was preceded in death by her mother, Marsha.

Lisa grew up on a farm where she embraced a love for the land and the animals, she would use that love later in life. She graduated from Hudson High School in 1980 and went on to get her Associates degree in accounting. She started her adult career as a loan officer for a credit union. In 2005 when she moved to the Albion area, she became a horticulture/greenhouse grower deepening her love for gardening. Lisa ended her career being an associate for TAC Manufacturing where she was able to master different skills in multiple departments.

Lisa had such a fun loving perception on life. She had a beautiful smile and laugh that she was always willing to share with those around her. She had an amazing compassion for people and a kind soul who always gave her ear to listen and advice when asked. She took so much pride in her garden that she even started a business naming it Never Rest Farms. Lisa enjoyed cooking/canning, raising her chickens, playing video games and loved a wide range of music from Mozart to Green Day. She loved her piano and was an amazing classical pianist. She was also an avid reader, who loved everything fantasy and horror; her favorite author being Stephen King.

She was united in marriage for 14 years to Jonathan Smith who survives her. She also leaves behind her father, Jerome, her two daughters, Lauren Smith and Ashley Conrad and her two brothers Scot Freytag and Mark (Karen) Freytag. Lisa had four beautiful grandchildren: Seth Conrad, Elijah Conrad, Olivia Hamel and Avery Garey.

Lisa was truly an amazing woman and her memory will live forever in the hearts of her loved ones and all those around her.

According to Lisa’s wishes, cremation will take place and a gathering to celebrate her life will take place at a later date.

The family is being served by J. Kevin Tidd Funeral Home, 811 Finley Dr., Albion, MI.
