Lisa graduated from Gardner South Wilmington High School in 1977. She was proud of being a Pantherette, reminding us at every Harvest Days parade. She worked for 12 years at RR Donnelley in Dwight, and more recently the Livingston County Health Department where she retired last year. Lisa enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She liked to camp, go for golf cart rides, attend Cubs games, and a number of other activities. She especially loved spending time with her great nieces and nephews who made her feel like a grandma.
