Lisa Maloney Obituary

Lisa Lynn (McLeod) Maloney, age 57, of Deer Creek, Minnesota, passed away on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at CentraCare Hospital in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Lisa Lynn McLeod was born on December 28, 1966, to Arnold and Ida (Thomason) McLeod in Seattle, Washington. The family moved to rural Hewitt, Minnesota in 1981. Lisa graduated from Deer Creek High School as part of the class of 1985. She went on to further her education at the Wadena Technical College earning degrees in massage therapy and pharmacy technician.

Lisa was united in marriage to the love of her life Rodney James Maloney on July 18, 1987, at the Messiah Lutheran Church in Wadena, Minnesota. To this union four children were born: Casey, Jason, Chelsea and Hayley.

Lisa worked at many different places over her lifetime; Fair Oaks Lodge; Lunds, Kenny’s Candies; Barrel O’ Fun, and McDonalds until her health forced her to retire early.

Lisa was a big Vikings Fan, and she enjoyed cross stitching in her free time. Family meant the world to her, especially her grandchildren, and she loved spending time together having family barbeques. She spent summers in Cavalier, North Dakota and Hannah, North Dakota.

Deeply loved, Lisa’s passing will be mourned by her husband of 37 years Rodney; her children: Casey (Stephney) Maloney, Jason (Jessica) Maloney, Chelsea (Timothy) Mindermann, and Hayley Maloney; eleven grandchildren with one on the way; her brother David (Jonnie) McLeod; her nieces, nephews, extended family and a host of friends.

Lisa is preceded in death by her parents Arnold and Ida and father-in-law Jim Maloney.
