After graduating from Jackson High School, Lisa went on to work for her parents at Stark Timber Products, where she excelled in sales. She enjoyed working alongside her father and family for nearly 20 years. Lisa was known for her artistic abilities and a dry, witty sense of humor that could lighten any mood. She spoke eloquently and had the ability to make conversation with anyone, making you feel as though you had known her for years. Her joking, her laughter, and her smile will never be forgotten.
With a creative zest for life and love of sports, Lisa loved drawing, riding her horses, singing, dancing, and skiing. Lisa enjoyed attending Jordans band performances and cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes, where Caitlin was a student. She could often be found on the sidelines, cheering on her boys, Logan and Jack, at their many sporting events.
