As an employee of O'Charley's in Spring Hill, Lisa Jo made many friends with her outgoing personality. Previously, she was a manager for Pizza Hut in Columbia. This loving daughter, wife, mother of three, and friend was one of the most caring and giving person you could ever meet. She thought of others before ever considering herself. It didn't matter what was going on in her life, she always kept a radiant, beautiful smile. She would cheer others up even when she was down. She was a great listener, encourager and very supportive to her family and friends. Her passion for life and sweet spirit will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Black of Columbia; her aunt: Tracy Randy Peden; cousins: Lauren Billy Kirkland, Macy DeVore, and Kaitlyn DeVore, all of Columbia; and a host of friends.
