Lisa Joan Nienhuis, a resident of Ann Arbor, Michigan, passed away on November 20, 2025, at the age of 66. Born on February 15, 1959, Lisa lived a life filled with love, adventure, and a youthful spirit.
Lisa was married to Tom Nienhuis, with whom she shared a deep bond. Tom’s work brought them to Ann Arbor, where they made their home together.
Lisa had a passion for traveling, with Las Vegas, Virginia, and Washington D.C. being among her favorite destinations. She was known for being an avid picture taker, often providing her family with disposable cameras before vacations to capture the sights and memories with them. Despite battling health issues, she managed to stay a kid at heart and anyone who met Lisa could see the innocence that she embodied.
Lisa is survived by her brother, Robert King III; her sisters, Priscilla Sale, Patricia Kleis, Amanda King, and Grace Bartrand; her brother-in-law, Ron (Cindy) Nienhuis; and her sister-in-law, Lee (Rudy) Ysquierdo.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Tom Nienhuis; her father, Robert King Jr; her mother Priscilla; her sisters, Colleen Steele and Rita Waroway; her brother, Russell King; and her parents-in-law, Roger and Colleen Nienhuis.
Lisa will be remembered for her vibrant spirit and the joy she brought to those around her.
A celebration of Life for Tom and Lisa is planned for Dec 4th from 5PM-7PM at Lakeshore memorial.
