Lisa Ebersole, 64, of Bourbonnais, passed away peacefully at her home on July 9, 2025, surrounded by love. Lisa was born on January 27, 1961, in Princeton, Illinois, to William Frank Gordon and Jinny (Virginia Elizabeth Smith) Gordon.

She is survived by her parents; her son, Britt Harms, and her chosen daughter, Maggie Strugnell; her beloved grandchildren, Eliana, Elon, and Eva Harms; her granddaughter by choice, Alexa Larkin; and two sisters, Wendy Nickoley and Jane Chap. Lisa was also a proud aunt to Elizabeth Fisher, Christine Besser, Daniel Nickoley, Megan Lathrop, Susan Cunningham, Stephen Nickoley, and Jeremy Chap, and a great-aunt to nineteen wonderful children. She is preceded in death by her beloved son, Eric Gordon; her precious sisters, Ann Keisler and Lynn Fritz; and other dear family members who no doubt welcomed her with open arms. Lisa was known for her warm, generous spirit, her deep love of family, and her reverence for the beauty of each sunrise. She dedicated her life to those she loved, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her resilience, kindness, and quiet strength left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
