Lisa loved her family, her children and grandchildren above all. Her greatest joys in life were spending time with them. Lisa loved her dog, Little Man, her constant companion. She loved spending time with her friends, sharing laughs and enjoying life. Her hobbies included listening to R&B music, spending time outdoors, cooking delicious meals, watching her favorite show the Walking Dead, dancing and online gaming. She loved her online gaming friends. Lisa was an inspiration to many. Lisa always saw the best in people and encouraged them to be the best person they could be. Even when she was suffering, she still made others a priority above herself.
Lisa’s first battle with cancer began in 2012, she won that battle. After 8 years of remission, cancer came again and this battle was much worse. She remained faithful and fought the best that she could, ultimately complications made defeating it impossible and it was time to rest. Lisa left this world pain free surrounded by love.
