Lisa Taff Bresnahan

Lisa was a bright light in everyone’s life - full of love, compassion and kindness that touched every person she met. She had a deep spiritual faith, a brilliant sense of humor, a love for dachshunds and chocolate chips, and lived her entire life for her family.

Lisa is preceded in death by her mother Marlis Taff. She is survived by her loving husband Bryan, their eight children Jerod, Chelsey, Shannon, Cory, Ramzani, Howard, Riley and Jaielyn, her father Paul Taff, Jr., and her two sisters Cheryl and Gail.

Lisa brought joy and laughter wherever she went, so we are looking forward to celebrating her in the same, uplifting way (see details below). We encourage you to bring your favorite stories and happy moments and to wear the brightest colors you can find in your closet. This is going to be a party!

"We cannot bypass the human journey. It is the cocoon that releases our spirit." ~Mark Nepo

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to one of these incredible organizations that meant so much to Lisa:

• Tree House – supporting youth in foster care

Treehouse is a well-loved, community-based agency uniquely committed to partnering with school systems, government agencies, caregivers, social workers, donors and volunteers to change the trajectory of youth in foster care by helping them graduate from high school with a plan for their future. Treehouse served as an incredible resource to Lisa’s family for many years.

• Children’s Home Society

The mission of the Children’s Home Society is to develop healthy children, create strong families, build engaged communities, and speak and advocate for children. Lisa and Bryan both volunteered with this incredible organization.

• Harmony Hill Healing Retreat

Harmony Hill serves thousands every year: people living with cancer, seeking a retreat from daily life or wanting to make healthy lifestyle changes and transforming lives affected by cancer. Lisa visited Harmony Hill during her cancer journey and found peace, comfort and friendship here.
