Lisa was employed by Lutheran Social Services of Michigan for more than fifteen years, prior to taking a medical retirement. She received multiple awards throughout her employment for service above and beyond from LSSM.

When Lisa wasn't spending time with her family, she enjoyed playing bingo, cross stitching, needle pointing and spending time on Facebook keeping in touch and playing games. She received her spiritual nourishment by attending Al Overstreet Evangelistic Ministries.
