Former Oklahoma City radio personality Lisa Mirick, who had battled drug and alcohol problems, died Tuesday in Savannah, Ga. Mirick was 47.

Her brother, Bobby Mirick of Oklahoma City, said she died between 3 and 6 p.m. Tuesday, and the family was awaiting results of an autopsy. He said Lisa had lived the last two years in Savannah with her father, and was battling alcohol problems.

“She had some physical ailments from alcohol abuse,” he said.

A memorial service is being planned after Thanksgiving in Oklahoma City, he said.

Mirick's last radio job was at KQOB-FM 96.9, teaming with Ron Benton. She left the station in June 2006 because of personal problems.

“We are all shocked,” said Chris Baker, Citadel Broadcasting operations manager. “Lisa was truly loved by her many listeners.”

After leaving KRXO-FM 107.7 in December 2003, Mirick and Benton helped KQOB's morning show become No. 1 in the 25-54 age demographic.

Mirick had her share of turmoil. Following her on-air tirade against Benton in December 2004, station management pulled the plug on the KQOB's audio for 21 minutes.
