Lisa Firth, 58, was an unforgettable soul whose larger-than-life personality left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Lisa didn’t just enter a room, she changed the energy of it. She loved her family without limits, giving them her heart, loyalty, and devotion completely. Her family was her greatest source of pride and joy, and the depth of her love will always be remembered.

She was a hard worker with a sharp, street-savvy mind and an extraordinary ability to read a room, understand people, and make a deal with confidence and intuition. She met life’s challenges with strength and resilience.
Lisa found happiness in her Blackwater community, tending her garden, and spending time with her beloved black lab, Bocephus, her loyal companion.
