1960 ~ 2025
Lisa Dawn Kildoo, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully in Utah on November 4, 2025, at the age of 65. Born in Oregon on June 12, 1960, Lisa lived a life full of warmth, creativity, and compassion.
Lisa was everyone’s mom. Her home was a sanctuary, a second home to many, where love, laughter, and comfort were always in abundance. She had a gift for creating safe, welcoming spaces, and her passion for decorating and crafting brought joy to all who knew her. Whether she was scrapbooking or hand-making cards, Lisa poured her heart into every detail. That same warmth and compassion extended into her work at the
assisted living facility, where she deeply cared for the residents and their families. Another joy of Lisa’s life was traveling, especially when it meant taking the scenic route and stopping to enjoy little treasures along the way. The mountains always called to her, but her heart was forever tied to the Oregon Coast. After moving to Oregon in 1984, she and her husband spent countless happy years exploring the West Coast, creating memories that their family will cherish forever.
Lisa’s legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the family she nurtured, and the love she gave so freely. Her spirit will continue to inspire those who were lucky enough to know her.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Doug Kildoo; her children, Daffney Sandoval (Rueben), Dakota Kildoo (Katelyn), Daisy Kildoo (Alex Cook), and Dixie Reed (Skyler); her sisters, Jeri Harte (Wes) and Dana Shibley(Jim Roden); and her cherished grandchildren, Miles, Olivia, Delaney, Lucia, Isabela, Margaux, and Sawyer.
A celebration of Lisa’s life will be held on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at Southeast Christian Church, 1881 Vine Street, Murray, Utah 84121. A reception will follow at the family home. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the youth program at Southeast Christian Church in Lisa’s memory.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Lisa when Dakota was a roommate with my son Keenan at Ozark Christian College. She was a welcoming friendly person. Always was happy to see us after their graduation. She left a lasting love and friendship to our family. Hearts and blessings go out to all family and friends.

Daisy,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. She looks like a beautiful soul. I love you and I am sending you prayers and a big squishy hug. May you and your family find peace in this new normal until you can meet again. I know God welcomed her home.
I was so saddened to hear that you had passed away. We had some fun times together, our trips to come see you, our camping trip(where it poured rain the whole time) You were a wonderful friend and I missed you when you moved to Utah. It's been awhile since I had seen you, but at least we kept up on Facebook.
Doug and Kids, please accept my condolences, its never easy to lose loved one. Prayers of comfort are with you all at this sad time.
From her over-the-top artistic talent during SkiFest and VBS, her love of sports and the great outdoors, or the smile that appeared on her face when she talked about her family, Lisa has always been a bright light and encouraging force in this world. She is loved deeply and will be greatly missed. Heartfelt love and hugs to all of you!
Daisy and family....I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to support you.
Sending my sympathy and love to all!
I'm so sad to hear of Lisa's passing. She truly was a wonderful woman and mother to everyone. I spent so many days and nights at her house in my youth, treated just like one of her own. I'm grateful for her influence on my life and send my sincere condolences and love to the Kildoo family.
Daisy, the first thing I thought of in seeing this picture of your mom, is that you have the same beautiful smile that she does. My heart goes out to you and your family; this is one of life's hardest things to go through. From what was said about her, and how radiant she is in this picture, it really shines through as to what a lovely person she was. My condolences to you your entire family.
