Lisa Maslar (1-6-23) service 1-11-23

Lisa Crotts Maslar, 55, of Savannah, passed away on Friday, Jan. 6, in Jackson, Tennessee. She was born in Savannah, on May 25, 1967, the daughter of the late Billy and Hazel Neill Crotts.

On June 18, 2004, she was united in marriage to Stephen Frank Maslar, who survives.

Mrs. Maslar was the former owner of Maz’s Quick Mart and had previously worked as a computer programmer. She was a member of Turkey Creek Baptist Church. She was a basketball star for Hardin County from 1981 until 1985, and she then went on to play from 1985 until 1989 at Lambuth University. She was not only a great basketball player but also an outstanding softball player, playing first base. She was one of the first females in Hardin County to play Little League Baseball.

She loved life. She loved her fur babies and was a friend to anyone she met. In her spare time she enjoyed riding her “buggy” side by side on country roads and watching the sunset and looking for deer. She loved traveling to different places and trying new foods. She loved spending time with her niece and nephews and doing karaoke with her friends.

In addition to her husband of 18 years, Steve “Curly Top” Maslar of Savannah, she is survived by her sister, Jill Paige of Savannah; niece, Alexandra Forbes; and nephews, Parker Forbes and Chandler Forbes.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandparents, Dewey “Dude” Neill, Neely Soloman Neill, Leonard Crotts and Mamie Crotts.

Services were held on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at Shackelford Funeral Directors of Savannah, with Rev. Denise Yeargin officiating. Burial followed at Neill Cemetery in Savannah.
