My daughter's preK teacher, Girl Scout Troop Leader, and friend! She'd always keep in touch and check in on my now 6th grader. My daughter loved her dog Bella!
You are truly missed my D9 sister.

Lisa was a kind person who loved living and traveling. She was a gracious hostess who loved having people in her home. Lisa was a trooper, as described by her good friend, Point, defying all odds after her illness. Lisa was fiercely independent and left no stone unturned. Lisa was also a pet Mom who loved her cocker spaniel, Bella. Rest in Heavenly peace,
