Obituary For Lisa LaBonte

Lisa A. LaBonte, 56, of Bristol, RI, formerly of Southbridge, MA, passed away on Thursday, March 23, 2023, at Hope Health Hospice and Palliative Care after a courageous battle against small cell lung cancer.

Born in Southbridge, MA, she was the daughter of Anita Tavernier and the late Raymond LaBonte.

Lisa enjoyed riding her motorcycle, going to the casino, dining out, traveling, going to the beach, listening to music and spending time with her beloved family. She was always the life of the party and loved to dance.

She will be remembered for her bright smile, tough exterior, and big heart.

She is also survived by her siblings Mike Tavernier and Paul Tavernier, her aunts, uncles, favorite little cousin Debbie, and other cousins, as well as a niece and nephew. She stole the heart of whomever she came in contact with and leaves behind many friends old and new.

The next time you are out, enjoy her favorite cocktail, a Jack and Coke, in her honor.

    I came to know Lisa as my housekeeper. She was always about perfection and had pride in her work. Lisa came to work with a smile, an iced Dunkin' coffee and a box of munchkins. 😁 Her smile brought sunshine with her. I loved hanging out with her in the kitchen swapping stories about the weekend. She was her own person with a beautiful soul and I will sincerely miss seeing her come through our door. We love you Lisa. May God bring comfort and understanding to your family during this difficult time. 🙏đŸģ - Holly & Lance Sheffield

    I have so many memories that come to mind when I think of Lisa. First like many I think of the bad ass biker chick, Lisa was someone you wouldn't mess with!! I loved that about her! She was someone who just handled things! Tied with first is a great mom. She always put Amanda first. She was always so proud of her.Always making sure she had anything she needed. I also remember how much she loved her mom and grandma as well. Second I think of my teenage years.. Middle School, Amanda and I were best friends and Lisa always welcomed me in whole heartedly. I was there all the time and have so many fun memories that I wouldn't have without Lisa and Amanda.I looked up to Lisa as she was always working hard to provide for her family.I was always so thankful for her kindness and even after we would drive her nuts she would always let it go understanding we were just teens growing up. Not without a conversation or talking too though I can still remember those conversations haha Lisa was a great woman! Rest in peace Lisa,I will forever remember the amazing spirited woman you were.

    I'm so sorry you left us at such a young age. I will never forget our time together and I will never forget you Lisa. The rides in the wind along the beaches and shores of New England and the pure feeling of freedom and Being that we shared. I loved playing my music for you and my apologies if my constant practice and obsession with guitars drove you crazy at times. I will never forget your support and love that you showed me at my gigs, all the time we shared great food together and celebrated Life with our good friends. You are the hardest working woman I ever knew. Now you are truly free. You are well loved and always will be and you will always be sorely missed. Love, Bob Rousseau
