Lisa Lin (formerly Martha Elizabeth "Liz" McClellan) died peacefully on May 11, 2023, after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. She was 81 years old.
Ms. Lin was born to Anna Belle and Roy McClellan in Waco, TX on Feb 11, 1942.

She moved back to Waco in 2019 to spend her final years in her hometown.
Ms. Lin loved music and enjoyed singing and playing piano. She was an aspiring lyricist in the 1970's and worked as a legal assistant in Los Angeles for several attorneys until she retired in 2015.

And of course, by her two beloved dogs, Chloe and Chelsea, who now reside with her son.
