Lisa Douglass Weiss, 47, of Washington Township, MI, passed from this life to the next on Tuesday, April 9, 2019. Her Heavenly Father and her earthly father greeted her at Heaven's Gate. Her faith in the Lord was an essential part of her life. She was born on July 30, 1971 to John E. Douglass and Cheryl Douglass (Lyons) in Latrobe, PA. After graduating from Indiana University of PA, and being the independent adventurer that she was, Lisa packed up everything for the next great chapter of her life.
