Lisa also was the hairdresser for the Monroe Care Center and Homestead of Albia where she loved helping the elderly with their hair. She was a very active member of the Gate Church in Albia where she served as an elder and often sang in the choir. Lisa loved being outdoors, gardening and planting a flower bed each year. Her homemade pie crusts were unmatched, and she loved each family get together not only because she got to see family, but because it was a great reason to cook.
