April 19, 1972 - July 10, 2023
With overwhelming sadness and much love,
we mourn the passing of Lisa Gallup on
Monday, July 10, 2023, at South Campus
Hospital in Calgary, from cancer. She leaves
behind her loving family; husband, Scott; their
children, Nathan of Pincher Creek, Anna (Ryan)
Running Rabbit of Calgary, Rebecca and her
fiancé, Malcolm Archibald of Idaho and Holly
of Calgary; parents, Paul & Bev McCracken
of Sherwood Park; sisters, Caylie (Greg) of
Osoyoos, Sarah of Edmonton and brother, John
(Jen) of Cranbrook; as well as the extended
Gallup family. She was devoted to her nephews
and nieces.
Lisa was born in Edmonton and raised in
Sherwood Park where she was fortunate to have
many good friends. She attended the University
of Alberta and graduated as a dental hygienist.
Lisa and Scott were married in August 1991
and were delighted when Nathan was born in
1995. After Scott graduated from dentistry in
1997, they relocated to Okotoks, where three
beautiful daughters were born. Anna in 1998,
Rebecca in 2001 and Holly in 2003.
Lisa was a determined, strong, kind, and
generous person, always putting her beloved
family’s wants and needs first. She had a deep
faith in her Saviour, Jesus Christ. She had many
gifts and talents. She was always a runner and
liked to participate in marathons and triathlons.
Lisa’s passions were skiing, and playing her
violin, whether accompanying, teaching,
performing solos, playing in the symphony, but
especially loved bluegrass which brought her
so much joy and happiness. Lisa often enjoyed
hiking trails near their cherished Fernie cabin,
bear spray in hand, and found beauty in nature,
especially the spring flowers.
Thank you everyone who prayed, sent flowers,
food, gifts and cards.We are so very grateful for
your support.
