After a short battle with cancer, wife, daughter, mother, sister, teacher, and friend Alisa Ernst (Cousins) passed away on January 11th, 2022. Alisa passed peacefully, surrounded by the love of her husband and two daughters.

Alisa Ernst was born to Alan Cousins and the late Elizabeth Cousins (Lewis) on August 12th, 1966, in Hamilton, Ontario. Throughout her elementary, secondary, and post secondary education, Alisa remained top of her class, graduating from Western University with both a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Education. After completing her education, Alisa found her passion in teaching and became a talented and adored Kindergarten teacher, teaching at multiple schools and districts for over 20 years. As an educator, Alisa poured endless love into her work. On multiple occasions she was recognized by past students, who shared the positive impact she had on them decades into their lives.

Alisa was married to David Ernst in 1998 and they lived together in Roseville for over 20 years. Alisa and David shared many adventures, travelling, camping, and cruising whenever they had the chance. Their marriage was one of constant laughter and strong friendship. Alisa is survived by her brother, Keith Cousins, and her two daughters, Emily and Erin. Her daughters remember their mother as both a force of kindness, care, and support, and a best friend. Alisa is remembered as being full of life and spirit, her vibrant laughter lighting up any room. Although she has passed, you can still find her in all things beautiful in this world.
