Lisa was born on April 16, 1964, in Effingham, IL, the daughter of Elmer and Dorothy (Lohman) Heuerman. She married Keith Sidwell and to this union two children were born, Brooke and Kelly. She later married Marvin McIntyre on February 14, 1994, and to this union two children were born, Shanna and Abby.

Lisa was a kind person with a quick smile and a loving nature. As an avid cook and baker, her meals and desserts will be sorely missed. A get-together without Lisa’s deviled eggs is like a day without sunshine. She was rich in friends and took happiness from weekly get-togethers with them. Modest pleasures were paint by number on her iPhone, watching HGTV, and the occasional float trip on the Current River. Her happiest times in life were with her family. She enjoyed Mexican lunches or suppers with her daughters, and get-togethers at Jim’s and Christmas at home. There were frequent walks around Effingham with her husband. Her favorite time spent in life was with her grandchildren. Knowing that she would see any of them on a given day always brought her extra cheer.

Lisa is survived by her husband, Marvin McIntyre of Effingham, children, Brooke Flowers, Kelly (Hunter) Rawlings, Shanna (Jeremiah) Gidcumb, and Abby McIntyre; grandchildren, Eden Flowers, and Lucy and Piper Gidcumb; stepfather, Eldor Klitzing; siblings, Linda Sweetland, Judy Amacher, Jerry (Lisa) Heuerman, Rick (Jane) Heuerman, Jim Heuerman, Donna (Rick) Roedl, Wayne Heuerman, Darlene Detmer, Barb (Danny) Shelton, and Roger (Martha) Heuerman; father-in-law, Marvin McIntyre; and mother-in-law, Natalie Ferguson.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and brother, Daniel Heuerman.
