The outpour from friends, family and the community has been abundant and amazing. Following her passing, she was described as a sweet person with an infectious smile. Lisa had a fun personality and an innate ability to make those around her laugh, even at the most inappropriate moments. Lisa loved others and would do anything she was capable of to ensure others had what they needed.

Lisa was a mother to two beautiful children, who she loved completely and unconditionally. She was a wife, who loved her husband; their love was apparent to those around them, they depended on each other.  She was a daughter, a niece, a cousin and aunt.  Lisa was proud of her family, the Bates’ and the Mooney’s.  She loved her family, even if there wasn't frequent contact the love she had for them was there.  Lisa was a friend to so many and more like a sister to a few. She will be missed greatly by all those who were lucky enough to have the honor of knowing her.
