Lisa Elaine Tate

 

Lisa Elaine Tate, 51 of Apex, tragically passed away on June 22, 2021.

Lisa was born in Pennsylvania on May 25, 1970 to her mother, Naomi Dill. She grew up there in the township of Sterling Run, where she delighted in the mountain backdrops and playing in the creek by her family home. That's where her love of the outdoors began, and as Lisa would say "I love being out in nature, but I can't seem to make it grow!" Which wasn't entirely true; she proved to be a pretty good gardener in the long run, and she always had a few other projects going besides. Her career in information technology brought her to North Carolina, and when she wasn't hard at work on that, you might find her cooking a fabulous meal for the family just the way her mom taught her to, or taking amazing nature photos, or sewing a dress for her daughter, or working on her next do-it-yourself home-improvement project, or finding a way to help out a friend or family member in need, or planning another trip to be out in nature somewhere she'd never been before. She was never one to sit still for long; she was full of life and energy and love, with a megawatt smile that could light up your heart.

She will be severely missed and always remembered by her husband, Brian Tate; mother, Naomi Dill; son, Justin Mullen; daughter, Abigail Mullen; stepson, Joshua Tate; stepdaughter Emily Tate; siblings, Donna Hepfer, Debbie Jack, Rita Dorton, and Richard Dill; and many extended family members.

Family will receive friends and guests for a celebration of her life at Apex Funeral Home on Monday, June 28, 2021. A visitation will begin at 1:00 pm, then memorial service at 2:00 pm, and burial at Raleigh Memorial Park following after.
