Dr. Lisa M. Rich MILLEDGEVILLE - Dr. Lisa Maureen Rich, 56, of Milledgeville, GA passed away unexpectedly on November 12, 2018. A Memorial service will be held Friday, November 16 at 8 pm in the chapel of Reece Funeral Home in Jeffersonville, GA. The family will receive friends from 6-8 pm Friday prior to the service. Our world has been irreparably transformed in the wake of this loss. Lisa was a much-cherished source of guidance and inspiration for a multitude of people during her 33 years in education. Having finally earned her Doctoral Degree in 2015; this was to be her final year as an educator. It was with a sense of glee and reverence, she marked off each of the year’s final milestones - anxiously awaiting the opportunity to begin pursuing her retirement goals. Lisa’s sudden, tragic, and unexpected passing has left her family friends, and her community devastated. We cannot adequately express the crushing loss that is felt by her absence. She loved her family fiercely and the feeling was all encompassing-ly mutual. Lisa has been taken from us far, far too soon and she will be dearly missed. Lisa is predeceased by her Mother, Merle Arnold of Jeffersonville, GA and leaves behind her Father, Hubert Arnold, brother, Stephen Arnold of North Augusta, SC; two daughters, Erika Thomas of Rochester, NY and Jessica Rich of Milledgeville, GA; Grandson, Judah Murphy-Rich of Milledgeville, GA; as well as her devoted and loving husband of 25 years, Keith Rich of Milledgeville, GA.
