Lisa Chenault-Clark

Lisa Chenault-Clark, passed away Sept. 23, 2005.

Lisa was born June 17, 1962, in Fresno, Calif., on a bright and sunny day. She attended school in Bakersfield, Calif. After high school she went to work in the family business of Hair and Co. as a make-up and facial artist.

She later moved to Montana to pursue her interest and childhood love of horses. There she enjoyed a life of outdoors and adventure with good friends of the same interest. She loved riding the trails and mountain ranges of Glacier National Park and other favorite places with her friends, and always made the "best" lunches, pulling wonderful things from her saddle bags, including good wine.

She was a kind and caring mentor, always sharing her good horsesense and never criticizing others mistakes. She also loved team penning and sorting cattle with her horse Smokey. Breeding and raising horses, caring for her garden and cooking for her friends and family were among her happiest of times. Her latest interest was to enter into the world of private chef and to teach children to cook.

She is survived by her loving family, mother Carole Brent; father Louis Chenault; sister Michelle Chenault; brothers David Chenault and his wife Denise, and Frank Chenault; nieces Elan, Nicole and Melissa; grand nephew Ocean; many loving friends; and the loves of her life, her horses, Smokey, Sandy, Bill, Jewels and colt, and her dog Nora.
