Lisa Murdock Madsen passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her family, on June 13, 2025, after a short but hard-fought battle with brain cancer. She was born on March 28, 1960, and is the oldest child to Faun and Patricia Murdock.

Lisa is survived by her husband, Craig Madsen; her children: Angela (Martin), Jessica, and Nick (Jessica); and her six beloved grandchildren: Sadie, Leah, Carter, Porter, Maia, and Lisbon. She is also survived by her mother, Patricia Murdock; her siblings: John, Mary, Katy, and Elizabeth.

Lisa and her family spent most of their lives in College Ward, Utah. In the summer of 2000, Lisa and Craig fulfilled a dream by purchasing their forever home at the mouth of Blacksmith Fork Canyon. There, Lisa found great joy in entertaining her grandchildren around the firepit and baking candy and cookies in the kitchen during the holidays. She and Craig also spent several summers in Alaska, where they loved exploring the outdoors together.

When Lisa wasn’t being an exceptional grandma or fishing in Alaska, she could almost always be found quilting. She had a true passion for turning ordinary fabric into extraordinary works of art. Lisa’s love language was service, and she expressed her deep affection for others by gifting them her handmade quilts. She shared countless hours with cherished friends—quilting, swimming, and walking in the mornings. Lisa held dear the joyful and meaningful memories created with the women who enriched her life.

A brief graveside service will be held on Thursday, June 19, at 2:00 p.m. at the Logan Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will follow from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the LDS meetinghouse, 130 West 2600 South, Nibley, UT 84321. A light meal will be served, and all who knew and loved Lisa are welcome to attend.
