I was stunned to see this while looking for my sister in law’s obituary in Benton. Lisa and I shared so many wonderful adventures and she was truly my best friend. My heart goes out to her family and friends as I know she will truly be missed 😢 I will cherish the times we had and the memories we made.
RIP dear friend

I have known Lisa for several years through my sister. Lisa was a very helpful, friendly, accepting, but unassuming person.
I recently visited Arkansas for 5 days. I saw her several times over my visit and ate meals with her and even played games with her.
In addition, Lisa’s help was invaluable to me on this trip including her helping me on several occasions because of my limited mobility.
I am sorry for your loss and know she will be missed!

I am very sad to hear of Lisa's passing. We were close for a lot of years and had many wonderful adventures. I have cherished memories of all our times together. I will never forget when we decided to go to Florida during spring break. We got to Destin and it was too cold, so we just kept on driving until we got all the way to Daytona for the giant party. We explored San Francisco, road all over in the trolley, and ended up eating at a McDonalds in Chinatown on a vacation with her family. We made curtains together out of king sized sheets in our old apartments in Hillcrest. I know that she went though many hard things in her life. But in our time together we experiences more fun than a lot of people have in a lifetime. I will always remember her as the young, vibrant smiling girl sitting on my bedroom floor singing along to my records. My mother loved her too and spent a lot of effort trying to keep us out of trouble. Lisa never met a stranger, so I know that she is making new friends in heaven right now. I hope she will keep an eye out for me because I will be looking for her. Love and prayers to Ruth, Pam and Robbie - if I weren't working so far away I would be there for her send off.
