Kennedy High School with the class of 1981. On December 12, 1985 she married Kipp Violett in Iowa. The couple made their home in Iowa and moved to Atlanta in 1999, and then Inola OK in 2003.

Family was most important to Lisa and she devoted her time taking good care of them, especially those grandchildren. Her four legged companions also received her love. Lisa also enjoyed spending time planting flowers and watching humming birds. A strong and courageous lady, Lisa fought long and hard thru health challenges. Her lung transplant in 2008 afforded time to see six more grandchildren come into this world. Although she had limitations, Lisa made the most of each day by keeping in contact with her family and friends through social media and watching her favorite shows.
