Lisa L. Meeker

December 31, 1949 – June 17, 2024

Daughter. Wife. Mother. Caretaker. Nana.

On Monday, June 17th, 2024 Lisa L. Meeker passed away quietly in her home


Lisa L. Champlain was born 12/31/1949 in New York to Bettina Greenley and Philip Champlain. Lisa’s family lived in Vermont until Bettina moved to the west coast after a divorce.


Lisa went to high school in Santa Barbara, married Robert Hernandez in 1968, and had two children.


After moving to Oregon and a divorce, she met and married her second husband Ralph Meeker and had two more children.


After Ralph’s passing, she moved to Idaho to be next to her beloved grandchildren, Coleton, Dustin, Hazel & Beau.


Lisa has always worked hard for others in both work and life, finding joy in seeing others succeed.

As a creative spirit, she has sold embroidered shirts, played guitar, kept beautiful gardens and landscapes, and later in life crafted amazing greeting cards for all occasions.

Lisa has always been relied upon and loved by friends and family, giving more than receiving, and being a stable rock in an unstable world. She cultivated friendships that lasted from grade school to today, and was always there when support was needed. She was the glue that kept friends and family connected and informed. Her presence will be missed by all who knew her.


She is survived by her sisters, Inness, Christina, Lucy and her brother Malcolm, and her children, Peter, Matthew, Leah and Andrew Jacob (A.J.)


The memorial service will be held on 7/20/24. 1pm at the Jacksonville Community center, 160 E. Main St., Jacksonville, OR 97530
