Biography
Lisa is an old-fashioned Southern girl from the lower middle-class. She completed high school, then went on for a two-year degree in cosmetology as well. Marrying Garrett Parkhurst right after graduation, she soon became pregnant and had her first child, Dianne, at age 19. Two sons followed, spaced out by two or three years.
Soon after their marriage, it became apparent that Garrett had a drinking problem, one that swiftly progressed into actual alcoholism. When drunk, which was often, he became abusive to Lisa, both verbally and physically. At first, the pattern was the classic one; beat her up one day while drunk, come back full of remorse when sober. But as the years progressed, the remorseful episodes became fewer. Garrett started staying away from home and when he did return, it was to reassert his dominance over the family. In the meantime, Lisa tried hard to keep the family together and to hide what was to her a shameful situation. She began to spiral down into depression and apathy.
One night, however, an angry, 9-year-old Dianne stepped between her father and her mother and became the target of her father's rage. Seeing her child so badly hurt shook Lisa from her lethargy and galvanized her determination to leave Garrett. She swore out a restraining order and a warrant against him, then contacted a lawyer to gain sole custody of the children and begin divorce proceedings. Upon learning his wife's intentions, Garrett promptly disappeared.
For two years, Lisa looked for her wayward husband, determined to be legally free of him forever. She worked two jobs to make ends meet; cutting hair in her little salon, and cooking and serving food in an industrial cafeteria. She was supported both emotionally and sometimes financially by her younger brother, Andrew, then a doctor living near Myrtle Beach. Finally, Garrett was discovered in Florida, arrested on the outstanding abuse warrant, and brought back to South Carolina to stand trial. He was jailed, and many of his assets were liquidated to pay back child support and alimony. The divorce was finalized, and Lisa and her children were free. Eventually, Lisa quit her cooking job, focusing on her little shop, and raising her children on her own.
When she found out her daughter's dream of becoming a doctor, she took it on as her own, and did everything she could to put her girl through medical school. At her shop she was fond of saying, "my daughter, the doctor", indicating her pride in Dianne's accomplishment. And she was very happy to see her daughter marry Richard Koch. Lisa knew him to be a good man, the kind of man she had hoped Garrett was, and she loved Rick like she loved her own sons. Devastated by his death, she realized that Dianne and her children needed her more than ever, and she stepped in to be her daughter's strength and support. When Dianne reached rock-bottom in her grief over Rick, Lisa required a promise of her, to never voluntarily leave her children without a mother, a promise that Dianne kept and remembered.
She was not pleased to see her daughter and grandchildren move so far away to a South Pacific island for her daughter's new job as family physician to the Tracy family. And she was flabbergasted to learn of her daughter's engagement to one of the richest men in the world. She was flown out for the wedding, and, in spite of her initial misgivings about Jeff Tracy, decided that he would make a good husband for her daughter and a good father-figure for the children as well. While at the wedding, she was introduced to Kyrano, who was as taken with her forthrightness and flamboyance as she was impressed by his gentleness and calm demeanor. They became romantically involved and enjoyed a flirty, long distance relationship, much to the chagrin of their children. As of this update, they are newlyweds. They were married on December 28, 2068.
While visiting the Island, Lisa became suspicious of rumblings and vibrations she felt and of the concerted efforts of her family and of Kyrano to deflect her from time to time. She nosed around as only she could and discovered a secret: the Tracy family ran International Rescue. Knowing that this was a secret she must keep at all costs, she determined to do so, not even telling her daughter that she knew. Eventually, Jeff and Dianne brought her into the loop as far as IR was concerned, and she surprised them by telling them that she already knew! Since then, she has been a help and encouragement whenever she could come out to the Island, lightening the load for the support staff and keeping an eye on her Tracy grandchildren, now eight in number.
