Growing up, she was active in various sports, including AAU track and field. She continued to be active in sports throughout her life, coaching or supporting the various youth teams for her children and their friends.
Over the last two decades, Lisa enjoyed finding old and odd pieces of furniture and restoring, rehabbing, and creating unique pieces of furniture and décor. She immensely enjoyed selling her unique creations at various Rehab and Antique markets and shops where she made many friends.
