Lisa Charlotte Massie

Lisa Charlotte Massie passed away on January 6, 2019 from metastatic breast cancer. Lisa was born to Kenneth and Nancy Nelson on April 19, 1963 in Detroit. She married the first boy she ever fell in love with, Steve Massie, and they enjoyed 32 years of marriage. Lisa felt her purpose on this side of heaven was to become a mother, and she rejoiced in her three children: Hannah King (Ryan); Griffin Massie (Shannon); and her baby Amy. Life in the Massie household was silly and always filled with love, laughter and enough cats to keep her husband busy cleaning up hairballs and wondering when the cat population would be reduced to zero.

Lisa’s final wishes included that the pallbearers would be the staff from the Senate restaurant where Lisa liked to order just one blueberry pancake. “Please have them wear their work uniforms and I'm quite serious about this,” she wrote…..however, that request might shut down the operation, so, with great respect to her wishes, we will take a bit more traditional pallbearer approach.

In lieu of flowers, Lisa requested that you donate to Metavivor (all proceeds go to research for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer) or that you buy yourself the ugliest outfit at your local Salvation Army, and wear it to her visitation. Along with her husband and three children, Lisa is survived by her parents, Nancy and Ken Nelson, her sister Shelley Nelson, sister and best friend Amy Grenier (Mark, Sydney, Avery, Ben, & Jack), her grandchildren, Michael and Loralei (King); her uncle, Jim Trebilcock, her niece, Emily Nelson; her father and mother in law, Tom and Iva Massie; her sister-in-law Michelle Massie and Thea Eve Vicari, along with countless other dear friends and family members. She is proceeded in death by her brother, Jeff Nelson. Lisa will be remembered for her beauty inside and out, her love for Jesus Christ, her wits and talent for writing, and her gracious, giving heart.

A Visitation will be held from 11 am to 2 pm on Saturday, January 12, at His Church Anglican, 34500 Six Mile Rd., Livonia, Michigan 48152. Her Funeral Service will follow visitation beginning at 2pm.
