Lisa was blessed with four children: Marie, Jeremy, Bryan, and Dustin.  The family was raised in the New Richland and Faribault area.  Lisa spent the last 10 years with her loving fiancé, Chris Alfvegren.  The couple lived in Barney, ND.  Lisa was raised Catholic and was deeply rooted in her faith.  She worked at a variety of nursing homes in both Minnesota and North Dakota as a CNA.  When she wasn’t working, she enjoyed camping, traveling when she could, but mostly spending time with her family.  Her grandchildren were the center of her world, and she did everything she could to be active in each one of her grandchildren’s lives.

She is preceded in death by both parents, Jose and Andrea Duenes; and a brother, Henry Duenes.
