                Lisa was born in Eau Claire, on March 11, 1969, the daughter of Kenneth Raymond and Alyce Angeline (Bauer) Hasenmueller. She grew up in rural Fall Creek and attended Regis High School, graduating in 1987. Lisa married her best friend, Richard Franklin Neff at the Masonic Lodge in Chippewa Falls on April 29,1989.  The couple have a daughter, Belinda “Lindy” Alyce, born on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2001.

                Her hobbies included watching old movies, oil and acrylic painting, reading romance novels and playing all kinds of games. One of Lisa’s favorite trips/events was the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN where we spent many October weekends soaking in the fall colors and listening to great music and stories. We were also blessed by hosting 6 exchange students: (Marketa, Marta, Anicka, Kaca, Ania and Anezka) and by developing relationships with many other Global Outreach students and exchange program members: (Miriam, Anetka, and Alice). These relationships were a source of comfort, joy and support over the years.

Previously, she worked in food services at various sites including St. Joseph’s Hospital, Holy Ghost grade school, Dove South and Mount Washington rehabilitation centers.
