Lisle led a full life as a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many. She was talented with crafts and started her own ceramic studio, “Funtime Mud Shop”. She taught knitting and crocheting classes. She was a Cub Scout Den Mother and taught 4-H. She was a member of the “Walkie-Talkie” exercise club and helped start a monthly bingo club that grew to have dozens of regular players. She loved people and enjoyed her community.  She was a long-time member of The Federated Church of Grass Lake. For decades, Lisle worked and chaired one of the Napoleon Township voting precincts. Even with a busy life, she made family her primary focus. Not only loving and nurturing their own eight children and many grandchildren; Lisle and Arlo welcomed anyone who walked through their door with a meal, a place to stay and a shoulder to lean on. Lisle had a long, beautiful life and touched so many hearts with her kindness, humor, and love. She was loved by all who knew her and will be missed dearly.
