Lisa Kae Wilde-Wilmes

Lisa Kae Wilde-Wilmes, 60, passed away unexpectedly in a motorcycle accident on Saturday, June 12, 2021. Visitation will be held from 4-7pm on Wednesday, June 23, 2021 at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway, West Des Moines. Memorial service will be held starting at 1pm on Thursday, June 24, 2021 also at the funeral home.

Lisa was born in Des Moines, Iowa on November 11, 1960 to John E. and Jaqueline L. Wilde two minutes after her twin sister, Linda Rae. She graduated from Lincoln High School in 1979. She was a proud employee at Principal for over 30 years and was looking forward to retirement in July 2021. Lisa also volunteered as a Firefighter/EMT for the Carlisle Fire Department where she was known as "Chic".

In her free time, Lisa was a gifted artist and enjoyed riding the Harley with Butch. Her family was the center of her life, especially her boys Dustin, Nate, and Jordan. She loved hosting holiday dinners and having everyone together. Lisa had a smile that was larger than life and a heart to match it. She never met a stranger. Her friends will always remember her hugs and her signature laugh, the "cackle".

Lisa is survived by her sons, Dustin Wilmes (Shavonn), Nathan Wilmes (Daelah Fleishman), and Jordan Wilmes (Brian Warthen); mother, Jackie Wilde; brother, Steve Wilde (Sandy); sister, Cheryl Ouverson; twin sister, Linda Amis (Doug); the father of her children, Tom Wilmes, and his son TJ; cousin Cindi (Kenneth) Briese; four grandchildren, a niece, nephews, and countless friends and co-workers.

Lisa was preceded in death by her father, John “Jack”; step-dad, Don Gale “Sonny”; and died beside her companion, Lloyd “Butch” Hedrick.

Memorial contributions may be directed to the family in loving memory of Lisa.
