Lisa Marie Swesey

Lisa Marie Swesey, age 62, a lifelong resident of Toledo, passed away Friday, March 20th, 2026 surrounded by those who treasured her. She was born March 16, 1964 to Robert and Billie Joyce Sodd in Toledo. Lisa attended Oakdale Elementary, East Toledo Junior High and finally graduating from Waite High School in 1982. After high school, Lisa continued her education at Statzenberger College studying Psychology.

Lisa lived life to the fullest, learning everything she could from family, friends and mentors. She had a wonderful sense of humor, captivating others when she walked into a room. Her warm smile and generous heart were felt by those who knew her best, always putting others needs before her own.

In her heyday, Lisa was a skilled dancer but also brought a smile to many as a Go-Go Dancer. She was an amazing mother, raising her precious daughter in a home filled with love and laughter, giving her strong life skills to grow up knowledgeable, strong in character and self-supportive, elements that she found to be important.

Lisa worked with several area diners and restaurants, including Chicken Ranch, Briskets Diner, Mel Berman's, the Iron Skillet, Bob Evans and Freeway Diner making longtime friends with many of her favorite customers. Most recently, she worked the last 7 years at Walmart's Oregon, Ohio location, again making a difference in serving customers.

When Lisa wasn't taking care of others, she enjoyed reading, working puzzles, crossword games, several games on her computer and playing cards. She was also known for her love of WWE Wrestling following many big-name wrestlers, but her favorite was "Jey Uso".

Left to cherish Lisa's memory are her daughter, Erin Swesey, sister, Lori Ann Sodd; nieces, Angel Autman and Staci Autman; great nieces & nephews, Isaiah, Iona, DJ and Jakari; Erin's stepfather, Ryan Haynes and Erin's father, Gary Swesey.
