After graduating, she attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University before starting work for Briscoe Oil Company in Kingfisher for many years. Lisa also spent time working at Wheeler Brothers Grain Company in Kingfisher before beginning to pursue her life’s passion of caring for others in a nursing career.

After Lisa was diagnosed with cancer, the Drummond School, headed by the Student Council , FCCLA and other organizations, raised money on her behalf.
Lisa’s wishes were that the money went to the homeless in the form of backpacks with essential items. The backpacks were distributed to the homeless in Enid and Oklahoma City.
