Lisa Marie Barrington passed away early Thursday morning, July 7, 2022, due to a pulmonary thromboembolism from a recent surgery.
She was born Dec. 31, 1970, in Tooele, Utah, to Jim and Peggy (Featherstone) Barrington. Lisa graduated from Tooele High School in 1989 and received her bachelor of science in elementary education from Utah State University in 1998.
Lisa was an exceptional teacher, teaching for 23 years within the Utah Catholic Schools (St. Olaf Elementary and St. John the Baptist Elementary) and the Tooele School District (West Elementary). She started her career teaching 2nd grade. She also taught 3rd through 5th grade. Many parents requested her to teach their children again as she taught higher grades. She was looking forward to teaching 5th grade again for the upcoming school year.
Lisa is survived by her father Jim; her sister Leigh; best friend Ginger Martin; honorary sister Tami Goldsworthy; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and her fur babies Shermie, Simee, Pepper, and Rudy. She was preceded in death by her mother Peggy, grandparents, three uncles, one aunt, and five cousins.
Family and friends are invited to attend a celebration of life, Tuesday, July 19, 2022, with a visitation at 11 a.m. and service at noon, at Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main, Tooele, Utah. Interment at the Tooele City Cemetery following the service.
Our family would like to thank Tooele EMS for their quick response and lifesaving efforts. We’d also like to thank the staff at Tate Mortuary for their care and kindness given to us at this difficult time.
