Lisa Ann Donald

Lisa Ann Donald (Winiecki) December 9, 1968 – February 17, 2026 Lisa Ann Donald, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and professional, passed away peacefully at home in Flower Mound, Texas, on February 17, 2026, following a courageous three and a half year battle with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. She was 57 years old. Known for her edgy wit and a perspective that was as sharp as it was honest, Lisa had a way of bringing a unique and often humorous light to any situation. Born on December 9, 1968, in San Francisco, California, Lisa was the daughter of Patricia Winiecki and the late Richard Winiecki (d. 2005). She earned her RDA (Registered Dental Assistant) at College of Marin in 1990. A California native, she moved to North Texas in 1998 with her husband and 3 year old daughter, residing in Flower Mound for 27 years. For nearly 18 years, Lisa was a familiar and formidable presence at Cross Timbers Dental. She began her tenure as a Dental Assistant, opening the office of Dr. Brad Revering as employee no. 1, before transitioning into the role of Office Manager. Her colleagues and patients will remember her as the organizational heart of the practice, setter of high standards and a steady hand in the workplace. Outside of work, Lisa was a woman of diverse and vibrant interests. She found joy in her garden and the immersive world of a good book, often accompanied by a favorite dark beer. Lisa traveled extensively, including Ireland, England, Scotland and Singapore. She never missed her morning NYT word puzzles, sharing her solutions with her sisters every day. A true adventurer, she loved staying in serene camping locations with her Airstream travel trailer and attending Porsche Club of America events with her husband. Lisa was the family’s outdoor cook, accomplished at any cuisine with both the grill and smoker. Lisa took great pride in her daughter’s accomplishments, including a career in theater technical arts, focusing on wig & makeup. She ardently supported Maggie’s drive to follow her passion. With her daughter, she shared a passion for board games during holiday gatherings. She rode an Indian Scout motorcycle to Arkansas and Oktoberfest in Fredericksburg, TX. More recently, she became a dedicated fan of Formula 1 racing. She watched every race with spirited intensity, always rooting for her favorites and waiting with anticipation to see if anyone could finally unseat Verstappen from the top of the podium. Lisa’s curiosity extended far beyond the earth; she was a fervent enthusiast of space technology & exploration, never missing the excitement of a major rocket launch. Lisa’s memory will be cherished by her devoted husband of 32 years, William Ford Donald, and her beloved daughter, Margaret Elizabeth Donald. She is also survived by her mother, Patricia Winiecki, and her three sisters: Joan Scheppelmann, Colleen Ferrari, and Karen Winiecki. She was preceded in death by her father, Richard Winiecki. In honor of Lisa’s California roots and her love for ocean life, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her name to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey, California.
