Lisa and Darin spent over 20 years raising their family in Vernon, playing golf and other sports in various leagues (softball, bowling). Lisa taught fitness classes as a Zumba instructor at Fitness West. Some of her happiest memories include adventures with Darin in their travel trailer, travelling to Europe and enjoying vacations in other tropical places. Lisa loved to cook, plan events, and watch reality TV, which helped to keep her relaxed and entertained during the first year at home undergoing chemotherapy and other cancer treatments with the devoted care of her loving husband, Darin.
