Lisa Joan Golebiowski

Lisa was born in Bridgeport Connecticut to Leo & Joan Auray. Her love for travel eventually brought her to the Northwest in the 90’s and she fell in love with Washington and decided to stay. Her adventurous spirit inspired her to try white water kayaking where she met her husband Matt. They were happily together for 24 years. Her career at UPS lasted 18 years until she was diagnosed with cancer.

Lisa’s love for travel was at the center of everything she did. She was blessed to have spent many years cruising in the Caribbean with her mother Joan. When not traveling, Lisa could be found in her garden, spending sunny days boating out on the sound, or on early morning trainings with her Sammamish rowing team.

Lisa kindness was felt in all aspects of her life. She loved spending time with her family and friends and was always willing to lend a helping hand. She is survived by her husband Matt, her son Sydney.

She will forever be missed. We love you sweet Lisa.

Peaceful Retreat

Down a narrow hidden path

Sought out by Wisdom's eye

A peaceful place of refuge calls

To come rest awhile beside

Listen to the waters

Falling over mountains steep

To gently flow for endless days

Through eternity's retreat

And on the far horizon

Of the never setting sun

The harvest of the whitened wheat

Is very nearly done

As work on earth comes to a close

Peace will be complete

Surrounded by the beauty
