Born in Bonham, Texas, on December 24, 1965, Lisa was the daughter of the late Cecil Wayne Patton and Virginia Carolyn Powell, and the stepdaughter of Allen Powell. From a young age, Lisa was known for her giving heart, steady strength, and unwavering devotion to her loved ones.
Lisa attended Bonham schools and went on to live a life defined by compassion, hard work, and deep love for others. She was the very definition of a caregiver - not just by occupation, but in every part of her life. Whether she was comforting a patient, caring for a family member, or supporting a friend, she gave fully of herself.
Lisa worked tirelessly, without complaint, and always put the needs of others first. Her dedication and loving spirit touched countless lives.
Lisa had a natural gift for making people feel at home. She was an incredible cook who could turn any meal into a comforting memory, and her kitchen was often filled with the smell of something delicious. Whether she was preparing a family favorite or trying something new, she cooked with love. Lisa also had a green thumb and took pride in her plants and flowers. Her home was surrounded by life and beauty - just like she was.
On March 15, 2015, Lisa married the love of her life, David Wayne Spindle. Their bond was strong and steady- built on laughter, friendship, and mutual respect. Together they created a home filled with love and cherished memories.
Above all else, Lisa adored her family - but nothing brought her more joy than being “Mimi.” It was her most treasured role in life. She wasn’t just a grandmother- she was their biggest fan, their comfort, their safe place. Whether she was playing with baby dolls on the floor, making snacks, or simply snuggling close, Lisa poured her whole heart into every moment with her grandkids. She shared an especially close bond with Addi and Kaytlyn, creating countless memories full of giggles, hugs, and unconditional love. Her grandchildren were her entire world, and she made sure they always knew it. Lisa was the best Mimi, and her love and presence will echo in their hearts forever.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Cecil Patton and Virginia Powell; her beloved grandson, Jordan Abbott; her maternal grandparents, Malcom and Pearl Evans and Harless Phillips; and her paternal grandparents, Alfred and Bertha Patton and Birdy Lane.
Lisa is survived by her devoted husband, David Spindle of Bonham, Texas, her sons Chad Abbott and wife Ashley of Lubbock, Texas, and Matt Abbott of Dodd City, Texas. She was a proud and adoring “Mimi” to Kaytlyn Abbott, Addi Abbott, Cooper Abbott, and Jackson Abbott.
She is also survived by her stepfather, Allen Powell; her brother Randy Patton and wife Cathie, and their daughter, Parker Patton of Bonham; and her brother Jeff Patton and wife Sherry, also of Bonham. Lisa leaves behind a close circle of nephews - Josh, Shane, Colby, Levi, Dakoda, and Cameron - and her only niece, who held a special place in her heart as the only girl among them.
She is also remembered by aunts, uncles, cousins, great-nieces, and dear friends who will feel her absence every single day.
A graveside service celebrating Lisa’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at Carson Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to come together in love and remembrance.
A come and go visitation will be held at Cooper-Sorrells Funeral Home on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
As we say goodbye, we hold tightly to the many gifts Lisa gave us – her laughter, her devotion, her kindness, and her boundless love. She leaves behind a legacy of strength, compassion, and heart. To know her was to be loved by her.
