At the time of her passing, she was attending Butler County Community College where she was majoring in Liberal Arts; she wanted to be a radio personality. She worked most of her life as a waitress because she loved working with people. Lisa was a beautiful person, both inside and out. She was giving, kind, never met a stranger in her life. She was outgoing, funny, bubbly, free-spirited, and had a zest for life. She also loved being surrounded by family and friends. She loved all of her family and left a lot of beautiful memories with them. Lisa and her brother shared a lot of good times and were best buddies; they always found a way to have a good time no matter where they were. Lisa looked up to her twin sister and they always had a special connection. They could look at each other and tell what the other was thinking. Lisa and her mom were alike in many ways and she even called her "mommy". Lisa loved dancing, music, especially Bob Seger, karaoking, watching movies, and the Dallas Cowboys. Most of all, Lisa deeply and truly loved her children and they were her whole world. She lovingly called her daughter "Jessi Toad", her youngest son "Biti Boo", and her oldest son "Joshie".
