Elizabeth "Lisa" A. Mudd

Elizabeth Ann “Lisa” Mudd, 56, peacefully passed away surrounded by her family and closest friends on Wednesday, November 20, 2024 in Libertyville, IL. She was born January 17, 1968, grew up in Mundelein and Libertyville, raised her children in Green Oaks, and was currently living in Grayslake. She graduated from Libertyville High School in 1986 and was a lifelong member of the “Chicks of ‘86”. Lisa received her Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from the University of Illinois and was a proud sister of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. After college she worked as a CPA in McDonald’s International Accounting Department. She enjoyed McDonalds until she left to start her most important job, a stay-at-home mom. While raising her children, she started her own paper / printing business called Paper Made Special, or as the kids teased her, “PMS”. Lisa will be remembered for her outgoing personality with her one-of-a-kind, contagious laugh. Lisa loved singing at the top of her lungs, dancing, crafting, taking extraordinary amounts of photos & videos of her kids, playing games like Spoons & LCR and shopping at the dollar store. Lisa also cherished visiting gift stores and yearly sample sales with her friends. Throughout her life Lisa had many dogs that she adored and passed that love for animals down to her children. Lisa was happiest simply sitting around the table talking and laughing with her family & numerous friends. She was extremely generous, loved to give gifts, small and large, to those she loved most. Her children were truly the light of her life and what made her smile most. She was a mom first and was so very proud of each one of her children. She was larger than life and will be dearly missed by all who loved her. Surviving are her four children, Michael, Andrew, Amanda (Adam Cameron), & Grace Mudd; siblings, Laura & Norman Johnson; nephew, Thomas “Tommy” Campbell and the very best friend that Lisa could have ever asked for, a true lifesaver, Katie (Patrick) Day. She was preceded in death by her parents, David & Ann Dale Johnson. A visitation will be held from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 26, 2024 at Burnett-Dane Funeral Home, 120 W.
