A benefit was held for Lisa Lamaster on Sunday afternoon at Affinity Hall on the ONU campus. Lisa has been through a lot with heart and cancer operations the past couple of years.
She has survived and thrived as she said, "The power of prayer got me through it."
She is back to work as a cook in McIntosh Center cafeteria, and she is grateful. "I love to cook," she said.
She and her husband, Don, are the parents of three adult children, Chris, Ashley, and Jamie as well as four grandchildren.
Lisa attended the benefit. Here, she gets her nails done.
