Lisa Rybicki Heffer
May 24, 1960 — December 27, 2021
Lisa Rybicki Heffer, the daughter of Benedict and Mary Pat Rybicki was born May 24th, 1960, and passed from this world December 27th, 2021.
Lisa, the oldest of 24 grandchildren, was a force of nature living in a tiny body. She could knock you down with her spirit.
Heart, she was all heart.
Of all the blessings in her life none of them were larger than her beloved son CJ. Take the sun out of the sky and put CJ's heart and Lisa's heart in the heavens and it would shine down on all of us. As it does.
Like all of us Rybickis, she went to catholic grade school at St. Clare of Montefalco. She was a cheerleader and, even then, as through her whole life, she had a magnetism that drew people to her.
She attended Dominican High School worked at a Law firm where she could punch out 70 words a minute on a typewriter.
She moved to Flagstaff, Arizona and graduated from Northern Arizona University with a bachelor's degree. She went on to get a master's degree in Sociology with a criminology emphasis.
Having lived through personal struggles, it shaped her to be a warrior for others as a probation officer in Denver, Colorado. She absorbed this from her mother and father.
She was an exquisite balance of the fierce and tender.
Lisa was a radical, to the bone Denver Broncos and Detroit Red Wings fan. She was hired by the Denver Broncos, picked out of 360 applicants because she let the General Manager know she was a huge Red Wings fan. He was too and she got the job. She got her father, who was a die-hard John Elway fan, an autographed John Elway football and dad got to spend time on the actual playing field in Mile High Stadium before many games.
Lisa and her fiancé Ed Mullen, a rugby player for the Detroit Tradesman and electrician, moved out to Denver in the early 1990s. Tragically, he died in a horrible train accident on the way to work on the day she was picking up her wedding dress.
After some very rough years she met the second love of her life Clint Heffer. They brought into the world a strong loving meteorite of a man, their son CJ. He was and is the light of her life. Forget the Earth and the way it spins on its axis, CJ was and is the center of her orbit.
Lisa is survived by her son, CJ, and an army of brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends, notably Lisa Risher and Susan Laundyt, among others.
Lisa did not just pass from this world, she is a force of nature living inside all of us.
