Lisa Renee Easley, was born on July 23, 1952 to the late Lucille Allen and Wallace Easley. She was raised in Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, surrounded by a large and loving family, especially her beloved grandmother the late Mamie Easley. Lisa was reared according to her mother’s Catholic faith. Educated in Catholic schools, she graduated from Saint Maria Goretti High School in Philly. She pursued a career in fashion, graduating with a degree in Fashion Business Administration from Grahm Junior College in Boston. Her tireless commitment to family was on display when she returned to Washington to care for her ailing father. She then turned her attention to technology and earned a Bachelors in Information Systems Management at the University of Maryland. Lisa went on to become a highly sought after project manager for such firms as Sun Microsystems and Lockheed Martin. She took the lead on major government projects and made sure “the trains ran on time.” Working closely with engineers, scientists, and technologists, Lisa kept a close watch on tech developments and would often speak on a wide range of I.T. matters, from the automation of American shipping routes to the boundless growth of the Internet of Things.

Lisa’s interest in technology went beyond her work. It deeply informed her play. A huge fan of the Star Trek and Star Wars universes, she enjoyed attending exhibits and watching and discussing the movies and shows. In recent years, Star Wars’ Mandolorian was the background on her phone. In addition to SciFi, Lisa enjoyed African American and Native American folklore and fiction. She enjoyed and invested in African American and Native American art as well.
One of Lisa’s greatest loves was travel—from the simple act of driving a fast car to jet setting off to experience other landscapes, cultures, and ways of being. From London to Arizona and New Mexico to Italy, with each trip she took, the list of places she still wanted to go only grew. At a recent celebration, she proclaimed, “I hope we have a lot more road to cover, and we do it in style.” We, her bereaved family, are certain that she is having a blast covering miles and miles of heavenly road, and we look forward to being reunited with her on those streets paved with gold.
