Lisa E. (Englert) Arch

Lisa E. Arch, 82, of Herminie, peacefully passed away  Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at her home, surrounded by her beloved daughter, Lynsey, and dear friends. She was born May 22, 1944, in McKeesport, daughter of the late Fred and  Violet ( Dickson) Englert.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by  her beloved husband, Lawrence R. "Larry" Arch; son, Larry J. Arch; sister, Nina Miller; and nephew, Bobby Miller.

Prior to her retirement, Lisa was a loving mother, grandmother,  and special friend to everyone she met. A woman whose  faith was the foundation of her life and the guiding light behind everything she did. Devoted member of her church, she faithfully served as a  lector, church and school secretary.  She dedicated, countless hours to supporting the St. Edward Catholic School  and parish community for more than 45 years .  She lived a life of selfless service, always putting the needs of others before her own. Whether offering a helping hand, a kind word, or  quiet support , she gave generously of herself without ever expecting anything in return. Her kindness touched, countless lives and left a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know her.  She found joy in life’s  simple blessings. She loved tending to her beautiful flowers, spending hours lost in the pages of a good book and filling her home with warmth and aroma of freshly baked treats. She was rarely seen without her signature lipstick, a small touch that reflected her grace, confidence and vibrant spirit.  Above  all, she cherished people, friends, family, neighbors, and strangers like we’re often greeted with her affectionate nickname, ‘Peach”:a term of endearment that made everyone feel loved and special. It is a memory that will forever bring, smiles to the hearts of those who knew her.  While her absence leaves an immeasurable void , her legacy of faith, generosity, compassion, and love will continue to inspire all those who were blessed to share in her life. She will be dearly missed,  lovingly remembered, and forever treasured. May she rest in the peace of God‘s eternal embrace.

Lisa will be dearly missed by her family and many friends.  She will forever be remembered for her beautiful smile.
