OBITUARY
Lisa Lynn Przybyla was Born to Eternal Life August 31, 2022 at the age of 56 years. Beloved wife of Terry. Cherished mother of Trevor and Jeremy. Loving daughter of John (Diane) Schroedel and the late Mary (nee Kuehl) Schroedel. Dear sister of Jackie (Lou) Blankenheim, Bill (Kay) Schroedel, Sandy Grymkoski, Jessica (Garrett) Hartwig, Sheli (Josh) Albrecht and the late Tammy Schroedel. Daughter-in-law of Sharon Cebula and the late Robert (Diane) Przybyla. Sister-in-law of Jeff (Lori) Przybyla, Karen (Tommy) Boyce and Jason Przybyla. Further survived by many nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, other relative and friends. Lisa also leaves her beloved cats, Casey and Huey, to be cared for by her family. They were her constant companions and she loved them very much.
Lisa grew up in central Wisconsin. She graduated from DC Everest High School in 1984 and attended Mid-State Technical College in Wisconsin Rapids. After graduation, she moved to the Milwaukee area, where she met her husband, Terry. Lisa started a 30+ year career at MGIC, where she made many life-long friends.
Outside of work, Lisa devoted her time to family and friends. There were many trips made up north and annual trips to Great America and Door County.
When she was diagnosed with ALK-Positive lung cancer in 2017, she became a very active advocate for both ALK-Positive and the American Lung Association. She wanted to help all who were affected by this cancer, anyway she could. She participated in many fundraisers and clinical trials. Lisa would tell you, “Anyone who has lungs can get lung cancer.”
It was Lisa’s wish to personally thank Dr. Smitha Menon and her staff for their guidance over the last 5+ years. She was so very grateful for the extra time she got and all the memories that were made during that time. Lisa’s family also wishes to thank everyone from Horizon Hospice for their compassionate care during the last part of Lisa’s journey here on earth.
I had the pleasure of knowing Lisa via MGIC. She was easy to laugh and always willing to help. I’m happy to have known her. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Of course her cats too.

Terry , Trevor and Jeremy, lisa was an amazing person and will be greatly missed. We pray for peace and comfort for you all.
I met Lisa at MGIC, and enjoyed seeing her in fitness classes. She was such a sweet person. I can remember the day, after one of our classes, where she said that her arm had been bothering her, and she suspected that she had strained something during class. Ends up that that was one of her first symptoms.
I’m so happy to have known such a kind and brave person. My thoughts and prayers are with her dear family.
Terry, Trevor and Jeremy
I was saddened to hear about Lisa. Our boys grew up together and we had many great times with your family. She was a special woman!
I had the opportunity to work with Lisa for a number of years and welcomed her energetic personality. I appreciated her quest for learning new things and her positive nature.
While I haven’t spoken to her in several years, I’m sure she faced her challenges with courage and grace.
The world will be a lesser place without her.
I was saddened to hear about Lisa. Our family is originally from Port Edwards and we used to go up and visit our Schroedel cousins when I was growing up. Lisa was always a very warm and kind person and I’m sure she will be missed by many!
