She had a passion for helping others with physical fitness and became an aerobic instruction. Later she became a CNA. She graduated from Black Hills State University with an outdoor education degree. She married Les Pribble in April 2020. Together they enjoyed caring for each other until his death in October 2023.
Lisa loved many dogs throughout her life. You would not see Lisa without her loyal companion by her side. Lisa is proceeded in death by her husband Les and her father, Bill. She is survived by her mother, Lenora Aksamit and brother Rob (Tonya) Aksamit and three nieces Brooke (Raith) Durham, Bailey Aksamit, and Bree Aksamit.

Lisa is my niece and godchild. I can still see my brother (her dad) keeping track of her as she hiked on the mountains. She loved the Big Horn Mountains like her Great Grandpa Tony Aksamit.
I know Lisa loved her dogs and she also has a pet rabbit for quite some time. When she was living in Missoula, MT, her dad would send carrot tops from his garden for Lisa’s rabbit. We would deliver the carrot tops to Lisa in Missoula as Lee was attending college in Missoula. We had driven down from Alaska to see family.
We all love you, Lisa. We know you are up in heaven with your dogs, rabbit, dad, and husband Les. God Bless You, Lisa.
