Lisa Marie (Simmons) Wegner, 38, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, October 25, 2025, at her "Happy Place" at Lake Thunderhead in Missouri, where she spent nearly every weekend during “Lake Season”, as she called it. Visitation will be from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Thursday, November 6, 2025, at McLaren’s Resthaven Chapel, 801 19th Street in West Des Moines. A funeral service will be held 10:00 a.m. Friday, November 7, 2025 at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, 3900 Ashworth Road in West Des Moines, with burial to follow at Resthaven Cemetery.
Lisa was born on March 14, 1987, in Des Moines and spent most of her 38 years living in the Metro area. Lisa worked as a Case Manager for Sammons Financial, a job that she enjoyed and prospered at. She loved life, spending any free time on adventures with her family and friends, who she fiercely loved.
She is survived by her husband and concert partner, Dave; daughter, Maddie, who made her a super proud Dance Mom; brother, David Simmons; and fur baby Bella. Additional survivors include her dear in-laws, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many, many friends.
We take some solace in the fact that Lisa is now able to reunite with her parents in heaven, while watching over us all down here; likely still taking selfies with us, without us even knowing.
Lisa had a bright, cheery personality, that will be forever and greatly missed.
