While in school at Dunedin High School, Lisa was a member of the band, an excellent bagpiper who was selected to perform in the Rose Bowl Parade. After graduation, she moved to LaGrange College in Georgia and subsequently Georgia Southwestern College in Americus. While there she became a member of Kappa Delta Sorority and met the love of her life, Snyder. After receiving her Bachelor Degree in Nursing, the couple married in 1981 and moved to her hometown of Clearwater where she worked as a nurse at Largo Medical Center. In 1985, they moved to Perry, Georgia, where they would settle to raise their family. Lisa was a Registered Nurse in various departments at Perry Hospital. She was an avid equestrian who rode English Style with both of her sons, taking them to competitions through their younger years. It was through Lisa's efforts, support, and encouragement that both of her boys became an Eagle Scout. She enjoyed reading and was a member of the Perry Book Club for years. She was a member of Perry United Methodist Church and the Christadelphian Sunday School Class. She was an accomplished watercolor artist. Lisa had a special love for her dogs and hummingbirds, and she dearly loved her family.
