Lisa Ann Randall Mudgett was born to Mary Jane Wanna and Milford William Mudgett on May 4, 1967 in St.Paul, MN. As a small child, Lisa had a spirit and toughness that never left her. After numerous moves around the metro-area the family, which now included step father Maynard Roy Drum, relocated to Osakis, MN and then on to Alexandria, MN. During this period Lisa went to live with her biological father for a few years. She got to move to Arizona for a time, but longed to be back with her siblings. Most of the things Lisa enjoyed doing in her childhood involved her brothers Franky and Mickey and her big sister Desi. Lisa really made the most of her teenage years. There was very little Lisa wouldn't do on a challenge or a dare. The first real love of Lisa's life happened when she was 15 years old and met David Baker. With whom she gave birth to her first child, Nicole DeAnn. As a teen mom, Lisa finished High School and graduated on time. Finishing 279 out of 280, a fact she was very proud of. Through Lisa's life, she was very protective of her family and wasn't one to back down from a fight no matter the opponent. In 1989 Lisa met Stephen Rocheford whom she married in August of 1990. She gave birth to her second child, a son, Julian James. Lisa loved motherhood and her career as a C.N.A. Certified Nursing Assistant at Bethany Home's in Alexandria, MN. Lisa received great joy working with the elderly and her Co-workers. In 1999, Lisa wed an old friend Leroy Elroy Dreger and had her 3rd child and 2nd son William Elroy. Her fourth and last child, a 2nd daughter, Sara Jane was born in 2004 with Lisa's last husband Kevin Randall. In 2005, Lisa's health started to deteriorate. She was diagnosed with COPD and Emphysema and that led to frequent stays in the hospital. In 2006 Lisa moved to Sisseton, SD. She enjoyed her time in Sisseton and enjoyed working at the Drop-in-center. Lisa was enjoying her life in Sisseton when her health took a very bad turn for the worst. She was forced to move back to Alexadria, MN with William and Sara, and eventually lived with her mother, Mary. Mary kept Lisa with her until her death in April 2013. Lisa and the kids then lived with her daughter Nicole and her family, husband Kenneth Cheney, and Lisa's grandchildren, Shayla Jane, Nathan David, and Kenneth "Chubbs" Jr. In the fall of 2013, Lisa's health forced her to move to an Assisted Living residence, where she succumbed to a Heart Attack and passed away on January 22, 2015 in Alexandria, MN.
She is survived by her children Nicole Cheney of Alexandria, MN, Julian Rocheford of Mankato, MN, William Dreger of Alexandria, MN, Sara Randall of Alexandria, MN; sisters Desiree Frederick of Watertown, SD, Kelly Jo Oliver of Maryland; brothers Wayne (Bee) Mudgett of Alexandria, MN, Mickey Mudgett of Watertown, SD; grandchildren Shayla and Nathan Bloomer of Alexandria, MN, Kenneth Cheney Jr. of Alexandria, MN; and numerous nieces and nephews.
