Lisa married Keith Ross on January 5, 1991, to this union two children were born, LaKiesha Ross and Keith Ross, Jr. Then came the grandchildren, she loved those little ones more than life itself. Lisa could dance, she loved to dance so much she made up a dance for the family reunion. Most of all, she loved her mom, Lillie was her best friend.
