Lisa Gay Hayes

December 1, 1965 — May 6, 2025

Iron City, TN

Lisa Gay Hayes, a cherished member of her community, passed away on May 6, 2025, in Sheffield, Alabama, at the age of 59. Born on December 1, 1965, in Florence, Alabama, Lisa was known for her vibrant personality and her ability to connect with those around her.

A graduate of Collinwood High School, Lisa carved out a successful career as the office manager for Performance Torque Converters in Muscle Shoals. She also made significant contributions in her previous roles at North Alabama Bone & Joint, the Bank of Waynesboro, and Angelica Manufacturing, where she began her professional journey. Lisa was a faithful member of the Fairview church of Christ in Iron City, TN; she loved her Lord and church family with all her heart.

Lisa's interests were as expansive as her personality; she had a pronounced passion for all things pop culture, including reality television. She loved to travel with her friends and always had her bags packed and ready. A dedicated and loving mother, she supported her sons, Daniel Brison of Iron City, TN, and London Brison of Baltimore, MD, in everything they pursued. She was "goat grandma" to Daniel's goats and was an avid practitioner of arts and crafts; her house was filled with keychains and air fresheners she had made. She was also an accomplished clogger. Lisa's warm nature and outgoing spirit made her someone who never met a stranger, leaving a mark on everyone she encountered.

She was also fortunate to have close companions by her side; her special friends included Lois Parker of McMinnville, TN, Beth Mewborn of Killen, AL, and Mario (Kub) of Killen, AL. Additionally, she was a beloved caretaker to her fur babies, Kennedy, Zelo, and Rali, who brought her immeasurable joy.

Lisa is preceded in death by her parents, Ottis Jude and Wanda June Bevis Hayes, and her brother, Michael Hayes.

Her legacy will live on through the love she shared and the lives she touched. Lisa Gay Hayes will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.
