Born on August 21st, 1952, in Ashland, Schuylkill County, she was the daughter of the late Dominic and Anna (Hinkle) Filiziani. She was also preceded in death by her brothers Dominic (Bernie) Filiziani and Raymond (Ray/Herky) Filiziani.

Lisa is survived by her loving husband of more than 50 years, Robert Adams; her daughters Melissa Vaughan and husband Terrence of Hummelstown, and Kimberly Victor and husband Marc of Harrisburg; her stepchildren Robert Brian Adams of Etters, and Maria Slabonik and husband Mark of Harrisburg.

She was a devoted grandmother to Liberty Vaughan of Hummelstown, and a cherished step grandmother to Tracie Houston of Harrisburg, Sean Houston of Etters, Ashley Daniels of Baltimore, Ethan Davis of Hummelstown, Keagan Yocum of Middletown, and Nadia Victor of Harrisburg.

Lisa retired from Hershey Foods, but she never stopped working to enrich the lives of her family, friends, and even strangers. She found joy in cooking and caring for others, gardening, and traveling with her husband. Her favorite days were spent preparing meals for her family and enjoying time at the casino with those she loved.

Lisa was truly a beautiful soul who can never be replaced. We will cherish her memory. Love you forever and a day.
