Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKARIN LISA-LOUISE VENTER It is with great sadness that the family announce Lisa's passing on July 25, 2012 at the Seven Oaks General Hospital in Winnipeg. Lisa will forever be missed and her life celebrated by those who remain in this world to pray. She is survived by her loving mother Sigrid Human, father Allan Green, her sons Luke and Hayden, husband Dwayne and extended family and close friends all over the world. Lisa is predeceased by her grandfather, Lewis Hill and grandmother, Karin Hill. Lisa was born on January 27, 1970 in Duncan, British Columbia and was raised in sunny South Africa, where she graduated from Alexander Road High School in Port Elizabeth in 1987. She was an enthusiastic and cherished child, a shining light and her radiance and aura will never fade. She was a diligent scholar and enjoyed drama/acting, played several musical instruments, sang and enjoyed public speaking and debating. Her favourite childhood memories were family vacations with her beloved grandparents, mother and cousins at the beach house in the wilderness. She cherished the memories of early rises and vigorous exercise and a swim before breakfast. Her grandfather, Lewis, had a special place in her heart and she enjoyed an afternoon ritual of blue cheese and tea while in his company. Lisa worked as a receptionist and travel agent in South Africa before repatriating to Canada in 2002 with her family. She worked briefly at Child Find Canada, but after her second born, fulfilled her passion and calling in life and raised her boys. Her kindness, dedication, selflessness, love, bravery, courage, sense of humour and zest for life is ever present and echoes in the lives of Luke and Hayden. Lisa was a brave and courageous woman, filled with a flare for adventure and who faced life with a burning passion and always left her mark and an huge impression on the hearts of those who were blessed to know her. She loved reading, cooking, long walks and spending quality time with her family. She also loved gardening, writing and most especially reading to her children. Her dedication to her boys and family was remarkable. Her heart was pure gold and the love, passion and desire to serve and help others left an imprint in this world we live in. She will be deeply missed, but the fond memories will always rise, and shine in the hearts of those she touched. There is one more Angel in Heaven, There is one more star in the sky A private family viewing and cremation has been held and the funeral will be this Thursday, August 2, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. at Calvary Temple. Donations in Lisa's name to the Canadian Cancer Association would be appreciated. Glen Eden Funeral Home 338-7111 www.gleneden-mb.ca

I woke up this morning with thoughts of you my sister, although we have only met a few times in this lifetime we will meet again and share stories and laughter. I felt a presence today and my heart smiled. Life is far too short and precious, I wish we had more time to connect. Until I get to meet my big sister again I will hold onto memories with our father. - Posted by: Alyson Hopson (Sister) on: Nov 09, 2019

My Dearest Lisa. We were born on the same day, although three years apart. We even carry the same name. I still remember our last visit in South Africa... Never knew it would be our last. I know that all the hurt & sadness have been washed away by the grace of God. That you are finally at peace and loved the way you longed for in life. Jy sal beslis gemis word!

Lisa, may you rest in peace and forever be in the paradise and presence of God. His plans may not be clear to me, as you have left this world at an early age, but God is in control - not our will, but His will. Your boys will always be a big part of their Granny's life. - Posted by: Ruby Bisset (Mother-in-law) on: Aug 01, 2012

At times like these, we take comfort, knowing that God has a bigger plan for all of us. We will keep your spirit alive with the many memories we hold close to our hearts.

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss, If you are my friend, please answer me this: Are we friends, or are we not? You told me once, but I forgot. So tell me now, and tell me true, So I can say I'm here for you. Of all the friends I've ever met, You're the one I won't forget. And if you die before i do, please wait for me in Heaven us i would do for you, I'll give the angels back their wings And risk the loss of everything. There isn't a thing I wouldn't do, To have a friend just like you! Lisa for ever , Miss you Lisa with god you are know for ever. George - Posted by: George (Friend) on: Jul 31, 2012

Lisa, may you rest in peace, and be held in God's hands. His plan may not seem clear to me, as you have been taken well before your time, but sadly it's His plan which I am left to accept. You will be missed, but you won't be forgotten. I will always hold your name high with your boys. - Posted by: Nyal Venter () on: Jul 31, 2012
