Tisa also was a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, who welcomed her with open arms, after the death of her husband,Tony.

Tisa was a very kind, loving and generous woman; always willing to help someone when in need. Tisa was a true woman of WISDOM. Tisa fully embraced her Native American Heritage and was a member of The NorthEast Native American Assoc. And Adopted Tribal People. Tisa would have served as a Wise Elder if she had lived in a Native American Village. Ultimately, Tisa was one who never changed, no matter how people tried she could not be rearranged, when they made her soul, they had one mold, love like hers, could never grow old.
