Lisa was a devoted Catholic and seeker of her faith and was involved in the RCIA Group and Bible Study.
She was a strong, intelligent, independent woman who loved animals and especially her pets. She enjoyed cookouts with her brothers and Daisy Road neighbors.
Lisa’s life was not always easy, she carried many burdens that few knew about. Lisa was a loving sister, aunt, niece, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that she will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
At her last breath, she joined the angels in Heaven.
