Later in life, Lisa found love again with her second husband, Manuel, and together they welcomed their son, Dominick Thayne. Their journey was filled with adventure, laughter, and shared moments of joy. Lisa's love for 70s rock, particularly the Eagles, provided the soundtrack to her free-spirited life.
