At the age of 29 she had brain surgery in Chicago, and has suffered with headaches and health problems. In 2014, she got a divorce and moved in with her mother.
Lisa had a heart of gold. Some people brought home dogs and cats, not Lisa! In Junior High School she started to bring people home with issues and problems. She tried to help everyone in need. She would bring runaway kids home. Her Dad would let them spend the night, but the next morning parents had to be notified. She did this all her life no matter what people needed; food, shelter, or just someone to talk to, she was there for them. Lisa was known by all her friends and family as “Mama Lisa” or “Sissy Bear”.
