Lisa Wetsel, Daughter of Peachtree Corners Resident Passes Away

Lisa Wetsel, 34, of Norcross, GA, died October 4, 2011.

Departing this world far too soon Lisa was a fighter from the day she was born.  At times the obstacles she faced were mountainous but her determination, faith, Mother, and family always gave her the confidence to charge forward with hope of a better day. 

Lisa had a passion for the little things in life with the deepest love of her dog, Champ, and a new hobby of gardening she was just learning with her best friend, “The greatest Mom in the world.”  She was a volunteer with Make-A-Wish Foundation and was always offering encouragement to other medical patients and especially kids.

Please pray for God to welcome Lisa into heaven with joy and the happiness she so much deserves.  

Lisa is survived by her mother and step-father, Joan and Glen Porter of Peachtree Corners; father and step-mother, Bob and Karen Wetsel of Lewisberry, PA; brothers and sister-in-law, Richard and Linda Wetsel of Lakeland, FL and Scott Porter of Canton; sister and brother-in-law, Rachel and Charles Cardell of Kingsland; and several  aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, family and friends.      

The funeral service will be celebrated 11:00 a.m. Saturday, October 8th, at , 6260 The Corners Parkway, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092. Entombment will follow at Peachtree Memorial Park. 

The family will receive friends from 10:00-11:00 a.m. prior to the service at the church.
