Lisa Ann (Friedman) Movitz, of Natick, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 25, 2025, at the age of 59, after a valiant five-year battle with stomach cancer.
Lisa is survived by her beloved husband, Louis Movitz; her devoted daughters, Brooke Guerra and her husband Matthew, and Danielle Movitz; her cherished parents, Dr. Robert and Patricia Friedman of Albany; and her loving sister, Marcy Spink and her husband Douglas of Needham, and their children Doug Spink and Jen Eisenberg.
A proud graduate of Albany Academy for Girls and Ithaca College, Lisa built a distinguished career as a high-level paralegal. Over the course of decades, she became a trusted professional at several prominent law firms and corporations, including Brown Rudnick, Boston Scientific, Raytheon, and most recently SharkNinja.

Her friends knew her as caring and fun-loving, always the one who would schedule and plan get-togethers from traveling near and far to watching Patriots games at her and Lou’s house. She was also an avid animal lover who cherished her dogs: Fuzzball, Oscar, and Penny.
