I had Mrs. Cutler for Spanish class my freshman and part of my sophomore year. She taught me a lot about Spanish, more than any other Spanish teacher I've had.
When she left, a lot of students, myself being one of them, lost their interest in Spanish. She was a great teacher and she knew her students well. Her death left a huge impact on the student body. She may be gone, but she certainly won't be forgotten.

I am so saddened by the sudden loss of someone that made me feel so welcome when I first walked into Mt. Zion in 1993 to student teach. Lisa was a fabulous teacher.
In the past few years our conversations centered around her love for her children, she was so proud of them.
She will be greatly missed by the staff at EHS and her students.
May she rest in peace. May her family support each other in this difficult time.
Te extrano amiga, una sonrisa y el cielo es un lugar mejor contigo.
I am so sorry of the passing of my friend Lisa Cutler. She was a beautiful woman who was taken too soon. I miss her beautiful smile and the way her eyes light up when she smiled. I miss seeing her walk around the neighborhood. My heart is filled with sorrow that I will not see her again. My thoughts go out to Chad, Isabelle Chapin and her family in California. I am so sorry for your loss.
