Lisa Diane (McKinney) Ellerbee, of Washington Court House, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 15, 2026, following a prolonged illness. She was born on December 13, 1966, in Washington Court House.
Lisa will be remembered as a fantastic mother and grandmother whose love for her family was at the center of her life. She found joy in simple and creative pleasures, including coloring and painting, and she took special pride in tending the flowers around her home. She was known for loving a Pepsi, for enjoying long conversations on the phone, and for her fashionable spirit, reflected in an impressive shoe collection. These everyday qualities, along with the care she gave to those around her, made her a memorable and cherished presence.
She leaves behind a loving family who will carry her memory forward. Lisa is survived by her daughter, Amber Lowry, and her son, Jeffrey (Makenzie) Litteral. She was also a proud grandmother to Lennox Litteral, Hayden (Natalie) Pavey, Gabrielle Lowry, Emmitt Lowry, and Mathew McKee, and a great-grandmother to Jahmelia Pavey. She is further survived by her sisters, Robin McKinney and Vicki Sheets, as well as her nephew, Ronnie McKinney, who held a special place in her heart.
Lisa was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar and Mildred (McNiel) McKinney, Sr.; her sisters, Joyce Pierce, Shirley Bethel, and Sharon Watson; and her brothers, Oscar McKinney, Jr., Hippy McKinney, and Rick McKinney, as well as a brother-in-law, Dan Sheets.
Her memory will live on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, and all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed and warmly remembered.
A celebration of life is planned for 1pm on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at the Bloomingburg Town Hall, in Bloomingburg, Ohio.
