Here's the a...Scott -<BR/><BR/>The funeral service was today. Here's the announcement; donations still being accepted:<BR/><BR/>Lisa Conover<BR/><BR/>Tuesday evening, May 22, 2007 Lisa J. Conover died unexpectedly at<BR/>her home in Neenah, Wisconsin. She was born in Denver, Colorado on<BR/>June 11, 1958 and grew up in North Dakota. She earned her bachelor’s<BR/>degree from The University of Montana. She is survived by her<BR/>husband, Gary G. Conover, her two sons, Eric and Chad Kempen, her<BR/>mother and father Cleo and C. James Cieminski, two sisters and one<BR/>brother, Judy Cowan, Patti Lunak, and Cort Cieminski and two step<BR/>sons, Zachariah and Joshua Conover.<BR/><BR/>Lisa was passionate about her running and the deserts and the<BR/>mountains of the Southwest. She also liked people. Since 1996 she had<BR/>completed 103 ultra marathons which included thirteen 100 mile runs<BR/>and she successfully completed the Grand Slam of Ultra Running. Her<BR/>favorite 100 mile race was the Angeles Crest 100 in the mountains<BR/>outside of Los Angeles. She taught herself to swim so she could do<BR/>the Ironman Triathlon in Madison, Wisconsin in 2002.<BR/><BR/>She married Gary Conover on March 26, 1991 in Harris County Texas and<BR/>he introduced her to the deserts in Southern California where he grew<BR/>up. Lisa loved running in the deserts, even when it was well past 115<BR/>degrees, and particularly liked hiking and running in Joshua Tree<BR/>National Park. When she only wanted a short 10 or 15 mile run she<BR/>would run up Mt. Eisenhower in the Living Desert which is in Palm<BR/>Desert. She was planning to move to Palm Desert, California, so she<BR/>would be able to train every day in the desert she loved. She was<BR/>also pursuing the idea of starting a running company in Palm Desert.<BR/>Her husband crewed for her at all her races and was always<BR/>encouraging her and protective of her. Many times he would tell her<BR/>to “pick up the pace” just to make her smile. During her races their<BR/>mantra was to have fun, do the best you can in this race today, and<BR/>not get hurt.<BR/><BR/>She will be remembered by her family and friends and fellow runners<BR/>for her smile, her positive attitude, and her pony tail swinging as<BR/>she ran. And her husband will always remember her tender eyes, her<BR/>beautiful smile, and their love and friendship.<BR/><BR/>A memorial service to celebrate Lisa’s life will be held at the<BR/>Wichmann Funeral Home at 537 North Superior Street in Appleton on<BR/>Tuesday, May 29, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers her husband<BR/>requests that donations be made in her name to the Living Desert at:<BR/><BR/>The Living Desert<BR/>Attn: Shirley<BR/>47-900 Portola Avenue<BR/>Palm Desert, California 92260-9817Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-21017005499332539462007-05-29T13:43:00.000-07:002007-05-29T13:43:00.000-07:00Look at all those races.
