Lisa Louise Childs-Cragg Obituary (1968

Lisa Louise Childs-Cragg passed on 9 November, 2019 at Harborview Medical Center. Lisa had a brain hemorrhage on 26 October in her home and was airlifted to Harborview. After 2 weeks of treatment and subsequent strokes she succumbed to these issues. During this time Lisa was surrounded both physically and spiritually by her immediate family and dozens of friends and colleagues. Lisa was a shining light in many people's lives, her energy, her helpfulness, her heartfelt support of those around her. She was deeply loved by many. Lisa was driven to do whatever she could and whatever was right for her family, her friends, and the numerous families and children she supported through the Head Start program, and many other community service organizations she aligned herself with. Lisa enjoyed all that life had to offer, always willing to try something new to better herself. She enjoyed traveling, exercising, a good book, but most of all, her family and friends. Lisa was so very proud of her 2 children Mathew Ryan Cragg (23) and Megan Catherine Burdick (22). She was always thinking about them and how best to support them in whatever way needed. She was truly gifted in knowing what to say and how to best support people, sometimes pushing them, other times listening and saying nothing. Lisa is the love of my life. After 30 years of love and partnership she never stopped amazing me, she helped me grow in so many ways, and she was always the person I could count on to make me happy. Lisa never thought about things being right or wrong, she just did what she felt was best and things were always better for it. She raised our 2 incredible children, always knowing instinctively when something with them was amiss or when their successes should be celebrated. She provided them with all the love, caring, guidance and friendship that she had. I was always in awe how she poured herself into every job she had, never for personal gain, always for the betterment of the people she helped. I truly do not know what I will do without her. Lisa and I have a great family and great friends that we will continue to rely upon. We know she'd tell us to move on in time and live our lives to the fullest. Her void can never be filled in our hearts but our love for her and literally countless fond memories will have to sustain us. The world has lost one of its very best. We are so heartbroken but we know that Lisa would want us to move forward and enjoy life as she had, being a positive influence on those we come in contact with. Services for Lisa will be held in the spring of 2020. Further details will be provided at a later date.
