Ellen met Lisa in 2011 and she appeared on The Ellen Show frequently over the years as she won over many fans with her contagious personality and enthusiasm. She was aged 56 when she passed away following a battle with breast cancer.
Lisa Jarmon lived in Fresno, Texas and was a single working mother. Ellen brought her on the show due to her charming personality and Jarmon bonded with the TV host who bought her a brand-new car and a house among many other gifts.
