Lisa was saved and baptized four years ago, and attended Community Baptist Church, near Lebanon.
She had received training to become a first responder and was doing volunteer work at the American Red Cross. She possessed a concerned and generous spirit for her community and was trying to become more involved in helping others. In her spare time she enjoyed working in her yard and garden, and had received the garden club’s “Yard of the Month” award during the summer of 2009. She was a very creative person and enjoyed decorating her home. Her family was very important to her and she focused her love and attention upon her children.
