Lisa P. Parker was born March 17, 1960, in Sadol, Pangasinan, Philippines. She died July 25, 2013, at her home in Oak Harbor, surrounded by her family.

She attended Far Eastern University in Manila, Philippines, and at the age of 17, moved to Guam. Moving from Guam to San Diego, she arrived in Oak Harbor in 1991. Lisa attended Skagit Valley College and in 1995 received her degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse.

For the past 10 years, she has worked as an LPN at Naval Hospital, Oak Harbor.

Lisa’s family and her friends meant everything to her. She had an infectious laugh. Her love of live was evident in her upbeat, positive attitude, despite what life threw at her. Her eyes twinkled when she looked at you. Her thoughts and concerns were always about others before herself. On her sickest day she would ask about how you were doing or your family. She lived to laugh and dance around.

Everyone who met Lisa quickly fell in love with her. Her patients and their families adored her. Her faith in God was so evident, and her acceptance of her illness as His plan was so admirable. Above all things she wanted her family and friends to know her constant appreciation for their love and support during her illness was immeasurable.

Lisa never had a bad thing to say about anybody; she found the good in all. She fought her cancer with amazing grace and acceptance. Her positive attitude and constant fight was admired by all.

Lisa is survived by three children: Vanessa Lacerna, Bryant Lacerna and Hallison Ann Parker; and by her siblings, Evangeline Imasa, Yolanda Gapuz, Cynthia Chenoweth, Freddie Pascua, Chito Pascua, Rey Pascua, Maria Grady and Imelda Miller.
