Honoring Lisa’s wishes a private celebration of her life will be held by the family at a later date

Lisa C. (Grenat) Vandeventer, 65, of Lafayette, passed away after a heroic long-fought battle with COPD on January 22, 2026 surrounded by her family.

She was born on August 7, 1960 to the late Ivan C. and A. Jeanne (Mehegan) Grenat.

Lisa loved being outside in the summer planting flowers. She enjoyed music, playing Bingo, Karaoke, drinking Diet Coke, her Purdue Peeps and an occasional trip to the casino with her sister-in-law, Paula.

Her greatest love was her children and grandchildren and spending time with them. Her favorite day of the year was Christmas.

Lisa married Norman D. Vandeventer and they later divorced but continued to remain friends over the years.

She is survived by her children, Bridget Grenat Fullerton of Frankfort, Nicholas (Stacey) Grenat of Otterbein and Jeremy (Jennifer) Vandeventer of West Lafayette. Two sisters, Judy (Larry) Vanderweilen and Diane (Earl “Bob”) Slaughterbeck, both of Lafayette. Also surviving are three grandchildren, Jake Fullerton, Zach Vandeventer and Rhylie Vandeventer, all of the Lafayette area as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Lisa is preceded in death by her parents, Ivan and Jeanne Grenat, a daughter, Angelec, granddaughters, Haleigh and Callie Fullerton, brothers, Terry Grenat, Bill Grenat and John Grenat and brother in laws, Larry Vanderweilen and Earl “Bob Slaughterbeck and Neal (Bo) Vandeventer.

So sorry to hear this, we went to school together and she was a good friend to me, lost touch as we grew older but when we did cross each others path it was just like the good old days. She will be missed❤️

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

From the class of Jefferson High 1978 it breaks our hearts that another classmate has passed, thoughts and prayers for the family and friends

She was a loving, generous and kindhearted woman. When I think of her, I remember her smile. I'm grateful to have grown up down the street from the Vandeventers and for the many great memories I am blessed with. Lisa will be missed. Sending love and prayers from the Seibert Family.

Bridget, Nick, Jeremy, & family I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing your mother is extremely difficult. Rest in peace Lisa

I will miss everything about you!! Down to your red toes,the way you liked your diet coke and how you enjoyed your Marlboro ultra lights before you had to quit. You'd come get me as a little one and I'd get to go with the boys to eat and the movies. I was always included. You were and always will be a special part of my life. I love you❤️

I loved playing bingo with her and chatting on here i had both my lungs scraped twice so we talked about that often she will be missed 💔 😥

Say hi to everybody in heaven Miss Lisa. We'll miss you!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
