  1. Terry and I both knew Lisa from working together and growing up with her husband Forrest. Lisa and I worked together at Boeing in HR. We had some good laughs at work. She was there when help was needed. She had the biggest smile, always greeted you with a wonderful sense of caring and compassion. I admired her great taste in fashion and her beautiful look. Sending our deepest sympathy to Forrest and the family. Heaven gained an angel and we lost a great woman. 🫶 Love Terry and Linda Oxford

  3. I am so sad to hear about the passing of Lisa. She was a big part of my childhood and always welcomed me with open arms. I’m sure we gave her a little bit of a run for her money at times but she never so much as raised her voice. I know she had so much more life to live. My heart and sympathy go out to Forrest and the rest of the family. Thank you for putting up with us and always opening your home to me, lots of great memories were made there 🩷

  8. Almost exactly two years ago Rhonda and I made our first ever trip to Tucson and SaddleBrooke. Upon leaving a home for sale the next block over, we came around the street and ran smack dab into Lisa and PJ. 45 minutes later we had made a treasured friend and shortly thereafter became an across-the-street neighbor that we have cherished. Our deepest sympathies to Forrest and the family. Gone far too soon, she was a gem that now sparkles in Heaven above. RIP Lisa Jayne Urban. We will miss you…

Prayers to all of you.

  13. Lisa was a beautiful person inside and out. I knew her from Boeing/ Spirit days, I had a lot of respect for her and the professionalism she showed in her job, she did what had to be done, put you in you place if needed and never looked down on anyone.

My deepest condolences go out to all who were ever blessed to know her, and my deepest sympathies to all her family! She will be deeply missed. Heaven gained another angel!!

  20. Lisa made a lasting impression on us from the moment we met her. She immediately came over to meet us when we moved into the neighborhood. Lisa was warm and kind and instantly made us feel at home. We bonded over many things but especially our love for our dogs, Sir Pixley and Mr. Bixby.

    We are blessed to have had Lisa in our life. Lisa is going to be missed by so many people. As I read in another post and couldn’t say any better, “she was a gem that now sparkles in Heaven”. Our hearts are with Forrest and family and pray for them, strength and peace during this very, very difficult time. John and Denise Moore

I knew her mom and dad and brothers. She also, played at mine. We also, enjoyed being in Girl Scouts together. She was one of my best friends in school and we had matching glasses and mood rings. I think she came to everyone of my birthday parties. Lisa was a kind, loving, energetic, and fun loving person. Always kind to others. As, I worked at Boeing I would see her occasionally in the HR Department. Prayers to your whole family. Lisa I know will be missed greatly such a sweet soul.
