Lisa was a devoted Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister,devoted best friend, and most of all the most incredible “Grammie” ever. She didn’t know a stranger and loved everyone she came in contact with. She was and has always been a source of unwavering love and strength to her family and friends, and to her family, she was the “glue” that held everything and everyone together. Her legacy will always be cherished, but the memories created with her will be treasured forever.

Born on March 3, 1960 in Henderson, Texas, Lisa lived a life filled with faith, purpose, kindness, and love. She found joy in spending time with family and friends, attending Church at Lanes Chapel Methodist Church, singing in the choir, and spending time with her granddaughter Mayce.
