Noel Lynne Lisa, passed away on August 12, 2026, at the age of 59, surrounded by the love of her family. She was born on May 29, 1967, in Jersey City, New Jersey, to John and Patricia Lisa. Noel made Michigan her home for the past 13 years, where she created countless memories and formed lasting friendships that became like family.
Noel is survived by her loving spouse, Michael Clark; her four children, Samantha, Alexandra, Nicolette, and Michael; her daughter-in-law, Jessica; her son-in-law, Kyle; her grandchildren, Alice, Kali, Grace, Adriana, and Yvette; her mother, Patricia; and her sisters, Mischelle and Tonianne. She was preceded in death by her father, John, and her brother, John.
Those who knew Noel will remember her for her unforgettable personality. She was fiercely independent, strong-willed, and never afraid to speak her mind. Noel had a way of putting you in your place when necessary, and she certainly never put up with any nonsense. But behind that feisty spirit was an enormous heart. Noel loved fiercely and protected the people she cared about without hesitation. If you were lucky enough to be loved by Noel, you knew without a doubt that she would have your back. Her loyalty was unwavering, and she would stand up for the people she loved no matter what. She was also incredibly funny and had a gift for making people laugh. Noel could bring humor into almost any situation, and her laughter and personality drew people to her. Throughout her life, she made many friends, but to Noel, friends were never simply friends for long—they became family. Noel leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, strength, loyalty, and countless memories that will continue to live on in the people who knew and loved her. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the impact she made on those around her will never be forgotten.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, August 21, at Wicks Park Bar & Grill, 449 Water Street, Saugatuck, from 3:00 to 5:00pm. Family and friends are invited to come together to remember Noel, share stories, laugh, cry, and celebrate the remarkable woman she was.
In lieu of formal goodbyes, her family asks everyone who knew Noel to carry a little piece of her with them—to stand up for the people they love, never be afraid to speak their mind, and always find a reason to laugh.
