Lisa Jane Lindsey-Riniker, 53, of La Crosse, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly on November 19, 2025, in La Crosse County.

She was born on July 13, 1972, in La Crosse to Kristen Pehowski and Michael Meniuer. Lisa spent more than a decade in the restaurant industry and later poured her energy into building her own small business, Priority Pro Cleaning. In May of 2010, she married the love of her life, Josh Riniker, and together they shared over 15 years of a beautiful life and family.

To know Lisa was to know her creativity. She loved writing, cooking, baking, and creating breathtaking artwork. She had an extraordinary gift for expressing every emotion—from heartbreak to joy—through her art. She also had a remarkable way of knowing exactly what to say in times of need, offering comfort, clarity, and reassurance to anyone who reached out to her.

Lisa lived her life with deep intention and held a steadfast belief that everything happens for a reason—a belief she shared often and lived out fully. Above all else, Lisa treasured her family. She was an incredible mother who poured her whole heart into her children and grandchildren. Whether she was playing with her grandchildren or spending hours on the phone with her daughters, she never failed to make time for the people she loved most. She had a rare and remarkable ability to love without restrictions, conditions, or limitations. Her love truly knew no bounds, and it brings comfort to know that everyone in Lisa’s life felt deeply, unquestionably loved by her.

Lisa is survived by her loving husband, Josh Riniker; her children, Cal Lindsey (Evan Lock), Camden Lindsey, Adysen (Reily) Riniker, and Saydi Riniker; her grandchildren, Oakley, Delilah, and Reece; as well as many other relatives, coworkers, and friends whose lives were touched by her.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Kristen Pehowski, stepfather, Florian (Flo) Pehowski, and daughter, Lexy Riniker. The family extends heartfelt thanks to everyone for their kind words, gifts, and prayers during
this difficult time.

A celebration of life will be held on December 7, 2025, from 1pm-3pm at Stoney Creek Conference Center and Hotel located on 3060 South Kinney Coulee Rd, Onalaska, WI 54650.
