Lisa Dunn Obituary

Dunn, Lisa Marie, - 40, of Egg Harbor Twp., passed away peacefully on September 26, 2023 after a courageous one year battle with cancer. Born in Atlantic City, she grew up in Absecon, graduating from Holy Spirit High School and Stockton University. Lisa's first job was in home healthcare where she cared for those with health concerns and she quickly became a part of their families. She went on to find her life's true calling as a head veterinary technician and groomer for Newkirk Family Veterinarians in 2007, where she dedicated countless hours caring for thousands of pets. In her limited free time, she enjoyed hanging out with Ernie, Bon-Bon, family, friends, and most of all, her many pets. Lisa will be dearly missed by all, people and animals, whose lives she touched.

Lisa is predeceased by her father, John, as well as her maternal and paternal grandparents. She is survived by her fiancé, Ernest McCracken; mother, Bonnie; brother, Brian (Nicole); niece, Madison; and nephew, Bryce; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family. She is also survived by her pets: dogs, Bert, Xena, Zelda, Zeus, Zola; cats, Tuna, Amelia, Wanda, Otis, Ralph, Ursula, Mya, Pearl; Rubicon the Iguana; and Grimm the Gecko.

Visitation will be on Tuesday, October 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Parsels Funeral Home, 324 New Jersey Ave, Absecon. A service will immediately follow at 7 p.m. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Funny Farm Rescue and Sanctuary, Mays Landing. Online condolences may be placed at www.parselsfh.com.

I can hardly writ this through my tears. I just today found out Lisa Passed. I knew Lisa because she cared for my pets at Newkirk Family Vets. I knew her as a strong and dedicated person to the care of animals. I´m broken hearted over the loss of Lisa. I pray for peace on your new journey. See you on the other side. Leaving a pic of my precious Sasha who just passed on Oct 23. Lisa knew her well.

I am so sorry to hear of Lisa's passing. Like many, I knew Lisa from years of visits to Newkirk Veterinary. Lisa was the only Tech and only Groomer i would trust my Toby to.
I have this wonderful image of Lisa on the road to the Pearly Gates and from across a meadow scores of Dogs and Cats and animals of all sorts are joyously bounding toward her. So happy to welcome her!
Her battle is done and now she rests in peace and happiness.

Lisa was a kind & giving person. My mother was 80 years old, living alone & Lisa would stop by her house after work to give her Yorkie IV for his kidneys at least 3 times a week. When my mom passed Lisa took Mac in when I was going to visit my sister in Florida. She offered her home to watch Mac. I am so blessed to have known her, she was a special lady. Condolences to the family

Lisa and Ernie we are a part of our family, since we have moved down to Egg Harbor Township over 10 years ago. Lisa was our vet, tech, groomer, and watched our dog Kirra. Her family and pets opened their home and arms so our dog would be comfortable staying there countless times. Lisa and Ernie became part of our family and lisa will be forever loved and missed by our whole family. I will never forget the time that Lisa came to pick up our dog before we went away, and when I open the door to let her in my dog, ran out the door to her car and jumped in, without saying goodbye to me. She loved Lisa that much and I knew she was in great hands. She will be missed.

Lisa was an amazing person.
She cared more for others needs than her own. She was selfless in the giving of her time. There was no better person to keep our dogs than Lisa and Ernie. We are forever grateful for her and will always have a special place in our hearts for her. Rest in peace Lisa, you fought a courageous battle.
