Help Honor Lisa A. Auter's Memory by helping lay her to rest

We greatly appreciate all your donations and I know Mama would have been in shock by how many people have reached out and donated and shared her story! Words can't express how truly grateful we really are and we hope we can get to our goal. We have missed a lot of work and that has been really hard on us financially. I am a nurse like my mom and I'm having a hard time returning to work. I have tried to go back several times and I have just come to grips with the fact that I may not be ready quite yet. I work in a lot of the same facilities my mom did so I see her signature a lot and her name in the computer at different places and it just breaks me down. Thank you for continuing to support us with our loss as we navigate these hard and unknown waters ahead. Thank you ❤️

THANK YOU!!

To ALL my unsung heroes ❤️

Here's to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world. They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. Look for them in this present darkness, Light your candle with their flame. And then go. Build bridges. Hold hands. Bring light to a dark and desperate world. Be the hero you are looking for. Peace is possible. It begins with us. ~L.R. Knost

We have changed the goal amount to the total of what was spent to complete her services and the other things that are part of the process minus our hopes of getting her a private autopsy like we originally had tried to raise enough money for. We would like to give a huge shout out to William "Will" Perkins, Aubrey's husband, who made a huge donation/loan in order to get her cremated and her memorial service completed on time!! We truly appreciate your kindness and generosity and like promised, we will get it back to you as soon as possible. You were truly an angel, stepping in without real question, and in the moment it seemed like a blur but I truly want to thank you, Will

**Update** Hi everyone ❤️ We are so blessed and surprised by the outpouring of love we have received in the hopes of laying Lisa Ann Auter to rest. Our mom was hard to love at times but she was so hard not to. We are so thankful that so many other people cared about her and we only wished she would have known how loved she was. There really is never enough time. We are grateful y'all for what we've already all brought together, but we do need to raise some more to cover expenses. Although the funeral home has donated a memorial service for her, the cremation alone is $2600. We still have to order the flowers, put together an obituary and slide show, prepare her for her day of rest by doing her hair and makeup and her final resting outfit to meet her maker in. We are hosting my sister, brother, and his wife and need money for food, prepared meals, and to compensate for missed work. I actually tried to go back-to-work yesterday and didn't make it half a shift. The rest of the money would be used for her autopsy because the state is not requiring one. Due to her having pre existing conditions, We are having to pay out of pocket and have been quoted 8-11,000 by the funeral director. Thank you so much for donating and please thank everyone you know who has also contributed. Please continue to like and share our cause so we may complete our goal. Please message me or my sister Aubrey Auter-Perkins privately if you have any questions. Thank you for your respect and patience for responses during this difficult time.

Hey everyone! It's Amber, one of the daughters of Lisa Ann Auter. We tragically and so unexpectedly lost our mother 10/23/24 at 1:11 am. She went to be with the Lord way before any of her children were ready. She LOVED her Daddy so much, and we truly feel that when she crossed the gates of heaven, her Mama and Daddy were waiting for her with open arms.

This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to face as I, Amber, am the oldest and have a few more things to handle, and I am now the leader of our little family. Mama always said, "You're going to need to stick together because I won't always be here." We are so thankful this process brought us together. Aubrey is here with me in Utah helping me with arrangements we never thought we'd have to make. We don't know what we're doing. We're doing our absolute best to honor her and her remains the best we can. Mama was an RN for 25 years and took care of thousands of patients at the end of life; she deserves the best.

But, with that being said, she had fallen on some hard times recently due to her health and losing her health insurance because she couldn't keep her job because she was sick. She ended up being homeless and had been living in a homeless shelter in the last days of her life. She had $37 to her name, half a bag of Wasabi nuts, and a Ferrero Rocher in her pocket. That is all she had to her name when she died, and it breaks me and my sister's heart. She knew something was wrong, and we have no answers still as to why she died in such a sudden and horrible, tragic way. After we are done grieving and taking care of her and laying her to rest, we plan on figuring out what happened. But right now, we just want to focus on one task at a time.

We live paycheck to paycheck, none of us have a savings like I'm sure a lot of people in America now, and we can really use some help. The funeral home gave us a $500 discount due to her homeless state and is giving her a memorial at no cost to us, which is so beautiful and amazing, but the cremation and urns, and slide shows and cards, and cremation taxes and permits—all these things we had no idea about—are way more than we could ever afford. Please, if you can help us in any way, even $5 counts. Everything adds up, and you all matter in this process with us. We aren't asking for anything fancy, but we would like to do right by her, and I really need some help.

Please God, let her know how much we loved her, and even though we were all fighting, we don't know how to go on without our Mom!! We were not ready, and no two young girls should have to lay their mom to rest the way we had to last night. She did let out her last breath while Aubrey and I had our heads on her chest, and Adam was on speakerphone with us, so she had all three of her babies, which is what she wanted. All she ever said to us as kids was she didn't want to be on a ventilator or be kept alive as a vegetable, so we made sure we kept the only wishes we knew she had for sure. With that, we are so thankful and blessed that we were all able to make it next to her and be able to relay her wishes in time.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Please be patient for responses as we are mourning also. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! ❤️
