She is joined in rest by her mother, Helen, her father, Walter, and her grandmother Beatrice, along with many other loved ones throughout her life. With a hefty family tree and a family consisting of both blood ties and bonds formed from the heart, Lisa's reach was as far as it was wide, and she was cherished deeply by many.

Among Lisa's most significant accomplishments was raising her four children, whom she held as her pride and joy. She served as a paralegal for a considerable part of her life before disability.

Even when sick or in pain, she never faltered in caring for her loved ones more than she did for herself. Her life served as a testament to her philosophy, "You can be a survivor or you can be a victim. “ and “The world moves on, even when we’re not ready."
