Lisa (Baker) Moore, 59, of Fairview Heights, IL, born February 8, 1960 in Belleville, IL passed away on September 23, 2019 at her residence surrounded by family and dear friends. Lisa was diagnosed with lung cancer and a brain tumor in 2007 and fought many battles along the way. She did not lose her battle with cancer. She beat it every day for 12 years by doing the things she wanted to do, living life the way she wanted, and by the love she had for her family and friends. Heaven is a better place with Lisa there.
Lisa attended Grant Elementary School, and was a 1978 graduate of Belleville East High School. Lisa’s greatest love was family and she was always so proud of her children and grandchildren. She loved animals, outdoors, being with family, carrying on family traditions, planning huge parties, and just about any DIY project.

Her grandparents, Bill and Helena (Berning) Crannage, Warren Logan Baker Sr and Kathyrn (McLaughlin) Baker. Mother-in-law Davetta (Raley) Moore and father-in-law John Moore.
