It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Lisa Lee Pledger, who passed away on June 23, 2026, at the age of 55. She was born on March 14, 1971, in Anchorage, Alaska, to Russell C. Milligan and Mildred F. Milligan.
Lisa had four siblings: her sister, Stacie Milligan, and her brothers, Mike Milligan, Steve Milligan, and David Milligan. She graduated from Salt Lake Community College in December 2000 with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Registered Nursing. She was a devoted mother, cherished grandmother, compassionate registered nurse, and loyal friend.
She dedicated much of her nursing career to caring for others at Jordan Valley Hospital, bringing kindness, compassion, and comfort to countless lives. Outside of work, she embraced life with a sense of adventure. She was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle enthusiast who loved the open road, found peace on nature walks, and treasured time spent with those she loved most.
Above all, Lisa was a loving mother and grandmother whose greatest joy was her family. Her love, strength, and caring spirit will continue to live on through them.
She is now reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, Charles "Chuck" Pledger, whom she missed dearly.
Lisa is survived by her father, Russell C. Milligan; her stepmother, Artamae Milligan; her brother, David Milligan; her children, Jessica Lee (Francisco Hernandez-Toledo), Bruce J. Lee (Chelsea), and Melissa Lee; and her beloved grandchildren, Justin, Isaac, Joshua, Amelia, and her soon-to-be-born grandson, Dylan, whom she looked forward to welcoming into the family.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles V. Pledger; her mother, Mildred F. Milligan; her sister, Stacie Milligan; and her brothers, Mike Milligan and Steve Milligan.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during a viewing on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Memorial Redwood Mortuary & Cemetery, 6500 South Redwood Road, West Jordan, Utah 84123.
A graveside service will follow at 2:00 p.m. at the Utah Veterans Cemetery & Memorial Park, 17111 South Redwood Road, Bluffdale, Utah 84065, where she will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband, Chuck.
