Today, tragedy has struck our family as we learned of the passing of Lissa Stapleton, my sister in-law. As with such an unexpected event at such a young age, the immediate family nor Lissa have the appropriate funds in place to cover the cost of the memorial services at this time. I'm reaching out to all of Lissa's family, friends and anyone in our community that may be willing to help. Im hoping we can come together and help relieve some of the financial side of this off the family in the coming days and we can focus more on cherishing our memories of Lissa and her beautiful life. She leaves behind three young children and they will receive the remainder of any funds and all of our love forever. Anything and everything will help and be soo greatly appreciated.

Lissa Michael Lee Stapleton was a mother, daughter, sister, aunt… Above all our angel who surrendered her life on February 1, 2025 in Peru, Indiana.

As our angel poured love into all of us, her children were her entire heart, Aerabella Joyce, Raiden Dallas, and Siris Rayn. Each carry a little bit of her in everything they do.

She was born June 23, 1999 to Donna Stapleton, Peru, Indiana and Lloyd Miller (Danika), Peru, Indiana. Lissa was the kindest soul. No matter where she went as a child she would find some animal, insect, reptile, and amphibians to bring home to keep as a pet. She was the wild child, fearless and daring. No matter who she met in life she made an ever lasting impression.

Lissa grew up being loved at many angles and survives with 5 sisters and 1 brother: Jennifer Rairigh, Kokomo, Indiana, Lita (Kyle) Hopper, Peru, Indiana, Felicity (Joseph) McAnaspie, Statesboro, Georgia, Keigen Miller, Statesboro, Georgia, Arian Satterfield, Peru, Indiana, and Dezman Miller, Peru, Indiana. As well as an abundant amount of nieces and nephews who loved her dearly: Hayleann Hopper, Spencer Stapleton, AvaLyn Herschberger (Donte), Kylen Hopper, Carleah Hopper, Thaxton Rairigh, Ace Rairigh, Journie Hopper, Paityn Miller, Maize Miller, Emberly Miller, and a great nephew, Kylo Hopper.

She is preceded in death by Eva Stapleton (maternal-grandmother), Clifford Stapleton (maternal-grandfather), Brenda Stapleton (Aunt), Clifford Michael Stapleton (Uncle), and Cole Michael Duvall Taylor (Nephew).

Visitation will be held at Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home, 105 West Third Street, Peru, Indiana on Monday, February 24, 2025 from 11am-2pm. The funeral service will follow at 2pm with burial at Springdale Cemetery, 2796 W. Broadway, Bunker Hill, Indiana.
