Lisa was born on May 25, 1959, in Fort Worth, Texas, as the first born daughter of Brian and Carol Haenisch. She graduated from Mexia High School and attended Texas A&M University. She was a wonderful daughter, sister and friend to all that knew her.
Lisa had a true entrepreneurial spirit and zest for making her own way through life.

She showed incredible tenacity in tackling new ventures and overcoming life’s challenges. Lisa enjoyed the mountains of Colorado and beaches of Mexico, where she often vacationed with family and friends. She shared her loving kindness with all she knew and leaves behind a spirit that will never be forgotten.
Lisa was preceded in death by her mother, Carol Norman Haenisch, maternal grandparents, David and Lucille Norman, and paternal grandparents, Henry and Frances Haenisch.
