She is also survived by her sister, Debra Haislip; nieces Ashley Hamilton and Kristen Brown; nephew John Haislip - all of Georgia; nine grandchildren; a beloved aunt; and many cousins and dear friends.

Lisa and I were visiting teaching companions for a couple of years when we were in the Goose Creek ward together. We spent a lot of time visiting with each other during those visits to minister to other sisters. Lisa was kind and compassionate...with a great sense of humor mixed in! Every once in a while I would catch that Boston accent too. She was a sweetheart and I know how much she will be missed by her family. Thinking of you all...especially Rick and Amy. My prayers are with you.

Lisa was one of the strongest and most generous women we have ever known. We feel so blessed to be part of her family forever. She faced her battle with cancer with incredible courage and grace. While we will miss her deeply, we take comfort knowing she is now at peace. We will honor her memory by striving to live lives that reflect the love, strength, and generosity she showed every day.
