Education & life Karisa dropped out of school at 15 years old in the 9th grade, but she didn’t let that stand in her way. She came back to it later and got her GED. She lived life like a shooting star, bright, shining and so full of energy and life that you didn’t just meet her, you experienced her.

Her mother, Andrea Paxton, her father, Steve Hilley, her stepfather, Michael Paxton, her sister, Chelsea Paxton, her brothers, Ronnie Hilley, Blake Hilley, Matt Hilley, Patrick Hilley, and her sister Ashley Hilley, not to mention Maw Maw Margie, and Helen, and tons of aunts, uncles and cousins.
