Lisa Marie Montgomery

Lisa Marie Montgomery September 22, 1975 – September 19, 2025 With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Lisa Marie Montgomery, age 49, of Lake Villa, Illinois, who passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones on September 19, 2025. Lisa was born on September 22, 1975, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Mike and Betty Morton. She attended Texas Tech University, where she met her loving husband, Jayden, and formed many lifelong friendships. Lisa went on to work initially as a manager at JCPenny and then as an Inside Sales Agent in the roofing and siding industry. She was admired for her professionalism, dedication, and ability to connect with people. Beyond her career, Lisa lived a life full of love, joy, and adventure. She cherished traveling with Jayden, especially their trips to San Diego, Key West, Europe, and the Caribbean. Whether walking along the shore, feeling the ocean breeze, or basking in the sun, the water was her happy place. The beach always brought her peace, and she found the same comfort in life’s simple pleasures—relaxing in her hot tub, admiring her beautiful pool, and enjoying time with friends and family. Lisa adored her pets and had a deep love for animals, always finding comfort in their companionship. She also treasured outings with her little loved ones, including fun days spent at Six Flags Great America, where she delighted in their joy and laughter. Lisa will be remembered for her kindness, her sharp wit, and her love of life. She was never without a clever remark, a playful dose of sass, or a laugh that lit up the room. Lisa had a gift for making those around her feel welcome, cared for, and entertained all at once. Her presence brightened every room she entered, and her memory will continue to inspire and uplift all who knew her. She is survived by her loving husband, Jayden, her cherished fur babies, Maggie and Chloe, her brothers, her aunts, uncles, cousins, and so many amazing friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mike and Betty Morton, her sister Laurie, her beloved grandparents Edie and Auther Layton, Peter Charles Morton, Rosemary Black Morton, and her wonderful past fur babies who now welcome her home. Visitation will be held at Ringa Funeral Home, Lake Villa, Illinois, on Sunday, September 28, 2025, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Funeral services will be on Monday, September 29, 2025, at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 15000 W Wadsworth Road, Wadsworth, Illinois at 10:30 a.m. Guests are asked to please meet directly at church on Monday. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Lisa’s memory to the American Cancer Society. Lisa’s love, sass, laughter, and spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
