About	With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Lisa Larbig on July 27, 2025, at the age of 53. Lisa was born on March 4, 1972, in Madison, Ohio, a daughter of Herbert and Patricia Krihwan. She lived a life marked by compassion, strength, and deep devotion to her friends and family. She loved her family, and every person she met immediately became family to her. She could put a smile on a weeping willow, and whenever a friend or a laugh was needed, she was there. Lisa was the proud and loving mother of five children—Megan Gradomski, Jaide Krihwan, Patrick Krihwan, Gabrielle Larbig, and Jessica Sands—whom she lived her life for. She was a cherished grandmother to four beautiful grandchildren: Jocelyn, Jaimie, Logan, and Clayton. She was also a beloved aunt to three wonderful nieces and one wonderful nephew: Bridget, Maureen, Lily, and Robert. Lisa shared a close bond with her brother and sister, Daniel and Monica Krihwan, who stood by her through every chapter of life. Lisa had found the love of her life, Matt Sands, and shared countless memories with him at her side for the last fifteen years. With the same boundless passions for life, they shared all hobbies together. She enjoyed being outdoors, camping, and gardening whenever and wherever she could. Her summers were lived to the fullest with golden sun-kissed skin by endless hours in her pool, garden, and campsite at Hide-Away Lakes in Ashtabula, Ohio. Lisa found so much joy in music; singing and dancing would make her heart shine brighter than the sun. She loved shopping in all forms, from thrifting to going to garage sales and hitting the Bargain Bin’s store on dollar days. Lisa was one to throw herself into any crafty idea that crossed her mind. As one of Ashtabula County League’s top players, Lisa shot a mean game of Billiards and retired after winning multiple trophies. She served as an auxiliary trustee of the F.O.E. for several years. She treasured cooking many of her mother’s recipes for esteemed club members. Her favorite pastime was dedicating her time to any club event. Above all else, Lisa would enjoy spending quality time with her friends and family. Lisa touched the lives of everyone who had the honor of knowing her. Her selflessness, warmth, and generous spirit will be remembered forever. She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and compassion that lives on in all of us.
