Lisa M. Connor, 68, of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on November 30, 2025, in Janesville, WI with her family by her side.
Lisa was born on January 14, 1957, in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, to the late Robert and Judith (Blank) Connor. She graduated from Lincoln High School with the Class of 1975. Throughout her life, Lisa worked in customer service and hospitality, fields in which emphasized her natural ability to easily connect with others. This passion led her to earn her Associate’s Degree in Hotel/Restaurant Management from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in 2005—an accomplishment she was most proud of.
Lisa could often be found playing bingo with friends and neighbors, doing word puzzles, or getting lost in a good book. These small pleasures brought her great joy.
Lisa will be deeply missed by her daughter, Becki Kuik-Connor (Jason Matzke) along with their three daughters Maggie, Piper, and Emma—who brought Lisa the greatest joy and pride into her life. In addition, she is survived by her sister, Laura (Ken) Ludwig, Jr.; her brother, Tom (MaryEllen) Connor; her nieces Amanda (Sean) and Erinn (Jacob); and her nephew Nicholas; as well as other relatives and close friends.
A visitation will take place Thursday, December 18 from 1-2pm at Calvary Mausoleum, Manitowoc, WI. A celebration of Lisa’s life will follow at 2pm with Jesse Eels from Hope
Evangelical Free Church officiating.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established in Lisa’s honor. Contributions may be made to help continue her legacy of kindness and generosity.
