She was joyously reunited with her baby sister Amy Mikesell, her brother Jason Felker, her father Rick Mikesell, and Grandparents Clyde and Eunice Adkins.

Lisa was well known for her angelic voice, song writing, cooking, and helping others. She always had the vocals and side dishes ready for any gathering.

Lisa was a remarkable sister and woman who dedicated her life to helping others and always going out of her way to do so. As a Housing Advocate for a nonprofit in California, she made a profound impact on people with disabilities on the verge of homelessness. Her efforts in securing grants for deposits and first month's rent changed countless lives. Additionally, Lisa worked as a home health aide, always caring with her heart and providing comfort to those in need. Lisa had many titles she wore such as daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and best friend, but her two favorites, and most important to her were Mom and Mimi.
