Lisa and her husband John are likely the nicest people you’ll ever encounter and would happily give you the shirts off their back if you asked. Always concerned for the needs of others, they’re the ones you want in your corner.
Lisa makes a mean chocolate pie and enjoys leading Bible studies and biking at Hilton Head on family vacations. She and John have two children, Phillip and Catherine, who are the lights of their lives.
Lisa loves M-POWER because our volunteers make such a difference in the lives of our patients and students.

In her spare time, Beverly likes to travel, read, go on long walks, play the flute and practice calligraphy.

People with hearts. People who care.
