As a mother and grandmother, she was unwavering in her love and support. Alisa’s children, grandchildren and golden retrievers were her greatest source of joy! She took great pride in her family’s accomplishments and she was their biggest, consummate cheerleader!

Anyone that was lucky enough to call her a friend knew that they could always count on her to be there in good times and bad times.
Many friends will remember Alisa as a proud cheerleader at York High School and at Radford University where she brought her infectious enthusiasm, high energy and team spirit to every game!
Although Alisa is gone, her legacy of love, strength, selflessness and deep commitment to family will live on through her children and grandchildren.
