"Fire in the hole."

She loved kids, and nicknamed everyone she was close to. She was an outgoing, upbeat woman who loved to laugh and be crazy with her daughters, family and friends. "Tore up from the floor up." Bisser's favorite pastimes were driving around, listening to music, especially Stony Park and the Chiniki Lake Singers, and visiting people. "I'm Bisser Stiffarm, I ain't scared." When she was younger, Biss was a fancy dancer, traveling to Pow Wows all over. Her favorite snacks were Dr. Pepper and Reese's. Bisser loved her daughters, and she was a wonderful mother, putting her children first. She was also an avid Harlem Wildcat fan. "Stiffarm, Horseman, Warrior"
