Life story

" Lisa Woodruff, born June 3, 1960, in Marietta, Georgia, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2026, in Sarasota, Florida, after a long battle with COPD, surrounded by her family and in the comforting thought of being reunited with her loved ones who have already passed on.

Lisa was a woman whose greatest love in life was her family. She was a devoted mother and grandmother who cherished her children and grandchildren above all else. Her family was the center of her world, and she spent every day nurturing, supporting, and loving those she held dear.

For 20 + years, Lisa worked faithfully at The Plumbing Place, where she was known for her dedication, professionalism, and the lasting relationships she built with colleagues and customers alike. Her work ethic and commitment left a mark on everyone she encountered.

Lisa is survived by her brother Bill; her loving children, Jesse, Sarah, and Stacy; her cherished grandchildren, Deja, Daelen, Trinten, and Hayden; and an unborn great grandchild who will grow up surrounded by the love and stories she leaves behind.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Doris McDaniel; her brother, Kevin McDaniel; and her very beloved grandson, Carsen.

Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we take comfort in our faith, knowing that Lisa is now at peace in the Lord’s care, reunited with those who went before her. Her memory, love, and devotion will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
