She was born on August 22, 1970, in Kansas City, Missouri, the daughter of Marilyn Hontz and is a graduate of Westport High School. She served as a CMA for a few nursing homes in Atchison for over twenty years, most recently at Medicalodge. She truly loved her job and the care she was able to provide for the residents.

Lisa was cherished by many and will be deeply missed by her surviving family members including her sons, Anthony (Jennifer) Barnhart, Daniel (Sarah) Portenier, Derek Newson, and Devan Newson; her daughter, Ambreana Newson; and her brother, Tony Newson. She loved her thirteen grandchildren and her five nieces and nephews. Lisa was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Marilyn Hontz, her dearly loved son, Ryan Lamont Roper, and her cherished sister, Natalie Newson.

Lisa was always so proud of her children, but they in return enjoyed giving their mom a hard time. When she became a grandma, she cherished the time that they were all able to spend together as a family. She loved to read and tend to her plants and was so happy to spend time with and talk to her daughters in law, Jennifer and Sarah. She loved her best friend Nikki, always looked forward to coffee with Rayeann and was a great dog mom to her pup, Asia. She will forever be missed and loved by her family and friends.
