I am so sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing. She and I started with the county at the same time and worked our first year in adoptions together. Lisa’s smile and positive attitude was infectious and she brought kindness to this world. Thank you for raising a lovely daughter. Peace to you all as you navigate her loss. Jennifer Doyle

The many lives she has enriched will live on in her legacy. Prayers and hugs to all of the friends and family that are grieving her today. Until we meet again, Miss Lisa Berry, you are forever loved!
I miss you already.. I have so many memories it would fill an entire book.. from usher team to daycare to hanging out at bucks to travel adventures to tears and midnight prayers to picking flowes along the roadside and laughing at dumb jokes to picking up friends to go to womens conferences to sitting quietly – saying nothing but speaking volumes in our silence together.. my friend was joyous and yet reserved— full of optimism and never backing down from challenges or a friend in need .. she was wise and comforting .. we enjoyed many a cup of java and deep conversations.. she loved her family her “kids” and her friends.. she was a loving and caring daughter and sister.. she never gave up.. she was an inspiration to all who knew her.. she loved Jesus and her faith meant everything to her.. and she lived her life based on that faith… she will be missed.. my tears can only be comforted by knowing she is experiencing life everlasting and is with the true King of the universe.. the Creator of all things.. the alpha and the omega.. may we all humbly bow before him.. thank you Lisa for being my friend.. I love ❤️ you. Rest in peace.

Rest in peace Lisa.
I’m going to miss you a lot.
You were a wonderful person who was there at all times.
I know that you enjoy the glory of God and that heaven received an angel.
My deepest condolences to the entire family, I have you in my prayers.
Eric and Michael….heartfelt condolences on Lisa’s passing. I loved her like she was my sister too! We shared a deep, intimate friendship… meeting in 1985 as we played on the same softball team. Then we lived together a few years. Oh she was such a wise, spiritual woman.
Lisa, you’re always in my heart. Love the laughter and never ending hugs we shared. Will see you again one day. Condolences to your friends and family.
Dearest Lisa-you were one of my first spiritual sisters when I came came to Christ. You encouraged me, taught me and shared your joy in the Lord with me. You are one of my foundational building blocks. I will be seeing you again
It has been many years since I was blessed by being in Lisa’s presence but I can still see that beautiful smile and hear that sweet giggle of hers. My sincere condolences to all of those who are missing her. May God give you all peace and comfort knowing that we will see her again.
Dear Lisa and family, My heart is heavy, just found out today of your passing and I am overwhelmed with sadness, I didn’t even know you were sick I would’ve wanted to see you or at least let you know how much of an imprint you had on me as one of your employees, you showed everyone how a leader should be, you were kind and welcoming, I felt you heard and understood me, even if you didn’t agree with me, I still felt heard and I felt you really cared about me as a person, you showed everyone how a leader doesn’t have to be an authoritarian to be effective, as your style of leadership was the opposite, you were always kind, respectful, reassuring and nurturing even while giving criticism, your leadership motivated me to want to give my best, not out of fear but out of respect for you and the team. I feel lucky to have worked with Lisa and to have her as my manager. Lisa, you were such a loving, caring genuine person and the world’s light dimmed when you passed. I have no doubt you are working behind the scenes, a light like yours never goes out, it just gets stronger and brighter. My heart goes out to her family and friends, I pray God’s love and peace will bring comfort through your grief.
