- Background & Obituary
Born on December 26, 1961, in Saginaw, Michigan, Lisa Ann Hart was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and gifted teacher whose life revolved around her faith, her family, and her music.
She married Patrick Hart on November 4, 1994, and together they shared nearly 30 years of marriage built on love, partnership, and shared purpose. Lisa poured her heart into everything she did—whether leading a classroom, playing the piano, or cherishing time with her children and grandchildren.
Lisa’s proudest moments as a teacher came during her students’ Christmas and spring concerts, where she witnessed their growth, confidence, and joy through the music they created together. Her classroom was a place of welcome and wonder—a place where music came to life and every child was valued.

Mrs. Lisa Hart’s legacy continues in every child who learned from her, every note played with love, and every smile she shared at the school doors. She will forever be remembered as a faithful servant, a cherished teacher, and a woman who made the world more beautiful—one song at a time.
Once more with many more to come, Lisa, your community thanks you for the good work you did while you were here. ♥️
