Her husband and daughters were the center of her life and nothing was more important. Lisa was always an outgoing person who could make you laugh at any time. She began life as a Grandmother to her three grandchildren in 2011 with each bringing her great joy which was seen in her smile and beautiful blue eyes every time she saw them. In addition to spending time with her grandchildren, she spent her time as a TOPS member for 28 years and as a Red Hat Belle, where she thoroughly enjoyed dressing up in the red and purple with lots bling. She was also an avid Bunco player and a friend to many. During the first Gulf War, during her husband’s deployment, she ensured her children and many of the wives of her husband’s unit were supported and helped to provide a stable environment for all. She helped both of her parents during their later years before their passing.
