"I met Lisa while we went through the Leadership Institute together 2-3 years ago. She became my buddy and we spent a lot of time together during our conferences. She was a dedicated officer but more obvious was that she was a loving and proud mother who talked a lot about her girls. I will miss you very much. Not "goodbye" but until we see each other again. God speed my friend."
In loving memory of
Lisa Dawn Svoboda
Lisa Dawn Svoboda, 53, born April 3, 1965 in Casa Grande, Arizona. Daughter of Charles "Sunny" Reed and DeLores LaJune Baughman. Mother to Lillianna, 10 and Jessica, 34. She was a good sister, a caring aunt, a loyal friend and a dedicated officer for the Arizona Department of Corrections.
Lisa was a very compassionate person who would offer a word of encouragement, a necessary truth or a simple southern pleasantry. She was as professional as they come, raised her girls to be strong and intelligent and loved spending time with her grandchildren. To say she will be missed is not saying enough. All who knew her will forever cherish her wisdom, her kindness and her beautiful smile. Peace be with her as she walks with the Angels.
Memorial service will be at 1:00 PM Saturday August 25, 2018 at Hansen Chapel,
8314 N. 7th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85020.
