There, she and her friend Sharon bonded for a lifetime. Lisa was a fun-loving, free-spirited individual. She loved to sing and often made-up songs. Her most famous one was called, “Water.” Life’s journey took her down many paths. She encountered a lot of heartache along the way but it did not break her spirit. She was a traveler. She lived in Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Alabama, Arizona, and over-seas, in the country of Scotland. She loved gardening but her passion was taking vintage clothing and making something new from something old. She also had a business and was quite successful reselling on Ebay. She was a wonderful country cook. Her specialties were: fried chicken, turnip greens, and spaghetti. Lisa was a caregiver to the elderly and sick. She also helped in a mission while in Scotland working with refugees from all over the world who had fled their homes looking for a safe haven so they could serve Jesus. Before returning to the states, she gave nearly all of her belongings and food to those who had none.
