Lisa Williamson, a radiant spirit born on December 7, 1965, to the late Willie White and Shirley Turner, in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, captured the essence of life with her abundant love and fervent passions. Her journey through this world came to a serene close on February 5, 2025, in the same beloved city that had cradled her dreams and laughter.

From the very start, Lisa was a beacon of joy and resilience, lighting up the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. She was a devoted wife to Kenneth Williamson, whose steadfast partnership was a testament to their shared commitment and unwavering love. As a mother, she poured her heart into nurturing her five children, Brandon, Devin, Allyce, Deanna and Tayshawn instilling in them the values of kindness, empathy, and courage. Her legacy continues through them, as they navigate the world bearing the warmth and wisdom gifted by their cherished mother.

Lisa's familial bonds extended beyond her immediate family, wrapping her in a cocoon of affection that included her devoted daughter-in-law, Claudine Zachary, and her supportive sister, Shawnette White. Further enriching her tapestry of relationships were her loving aunts, Ollie Chandler and Alice Magnum, who cherished her deeply.

In every aspect of her life, Lisa embraced her passions with enthusiasm, none more fervent than her love for the Dallas Cowboys, a devotion that rallied friends and family alike into spirited discussions and celebrations. This passion mirrored her zest for life; she fiercely supported her team as she did her loved ones, always creating an atmosphere filled with camaraderie and infectious excitement.

Lisa Williamson leaves behind not just memories but a legacy of love, tenacity, and joy. Her spirit will continue to resonate in the laughter of her children, in the support shared among family, and in the cherished recollections of all who were blessed to have crossed her path. As we gather to honor her memory, we carry forth the lessons she imparted—love fiercely, support unconditionally, and revel in the beauty of life. The world may seem dimmer without her light, but her essence will forever flicker brightly in our hearts.
