Lisa Marie Luger of Kirkland passed away on Feb. 22. She was 40 years old.

The daughter of John and Donna Luger, Lisa was born August 17, 1969 in El Paso, Texas and was raised in Bellevue. Lisa attended St. Louise Catholic Grade School, Eastside Catholic High School and also attended the University of San Diego and Santa Clara University. Lisa was very active and loved snow and water skiing. She also enjoyed sun bathing, playing cards and board games. She was known for always putting others before herself – she was a very caring person.

Lisa was also very active in the community and this was most evident in her work for the Fulcrum Foundation, which provides financial assistance to promote and support Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Seattle. She was a natural leader and was always reaching out to help those around her. Above all, Lisa loved her daughters Stephanie, Allison and Jacqueline.

Surviving family members include her children Stephanie Marie, Allison Nicole & Jacqueline Mae; her parents of Bellevue; sister Tanya Paszkeicz, brothers John Jr. and Justin Luger. Besides loving family members, Lisa leaves many wonderful friends and family mourning her passing.

A mass of Christian burial was held at St Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue.
