Lisa's Story
In 2011, Lisa endured the unimaginable when her eldest granddaughter, Scarlett, passed away from cancer at just 21 months old. Out of this grief, Scarlett’s Closet was born—an organization created to bring comfort, care, and spiritual encouragement to families during medical crises. Through thoughtfully prepared care bags that include personal essentials, a journal, a pen, and a Bible, Lisa offers families both practical support and the reminder that they are not alone.
​
In 2018, Lisa published Courage and Red Wagon, a deeply personal book that chronicles her journey of faith, love, and healing. Her words have encouraged countless readers facing their own trials.
​
Since 2019, Lisa has devoted herself full-time to Scarlett’s Closet, speaking to women’s groups, churches, and organizations while actively growing the ministry’s outreach. Through every act of service, Lisa honors Scarlett’s memory and lives out her mission of being the hands and feet of Jesus to families in need.
