Lisa Marie Czaja (nee Waters) of Ogdensburg, Wis. has died.

The beautiful daughter of Amy and Joseph Waters; wife of Jim Czaja; passionate mother of Jason and Jody; daughter-in-law of Mary (Czaja) and Roland Rate; and dear sister of Ellen, Eric, Fred and Joe.

Her presence in our lives is powerful and strong. Her enthusiasm for adventure led her to travel far and share her free spirited love with many. We invite all of those who have ever shared a smile with Lisa to come and celebrate her beautiful essence.

We shall gather at the Edge of Town Hall in Manawa on Saturday beginning at 11 a.m. with a memorial celebration of Lisa’s life at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established for the children.
