Lisa Maxine Hoppe was born April 13, 1979, in Jamestown, ND, the daughter of Charles Sr. and Maxine (Duda) Hoppe. Lisa grew up in Carrington and graduated from Carrington High School in 1997.

Message: I was fortunate to work with Lisa at Bismarck State College. My favorite days were the ones I got to see her on our tour route. Lisa made every student and their family feel welcome at the bookstore, and treated each student like they were part of her family. She always had a smile or a joke for students, and was there for 'mom' advice whenever they needed it. Thinking of you all as you celebrate her extraordinary life.
