Lisa Anne Cassidy passed away on Tuesday, May 28th, 2019 after a short, but determined battle with cancer. She was born January 3, 1958, in Queens, NY to Paul and Carol Cassidy. After a brief move to Hingham, MA, the family settled in Colts Neck, NJ. Lisa attended Red Bank Catholic High School and, upon graduation, took a ‘gap’ year to work on Wall Street before heading south to attend the University of North Carolina – Greensboro. Lisa headed back north after graduation but eventually was pulled back to NC, landing in Charlotte for the last 25 years. She worked with several major financial services firms during her career, most recently in Municipal Compliance with Wells Fargo.
Lisa lived life fully; she was fun-loving, had a great sense of humor and was always purposeful about spending time with the ARMY of friends she easily made throughout life. She loved Wrightsville Beach and accumulated countless memories there with friends each year. She was a lover of Golden Retrievers and was the proud dog mom to three of them over the years.
Lisa is survived by her parents, Paul and Carol; her sisters, Lesley and Lori; nephew, Joe and his wife Laura, their two kids Joseph and Christopher and her sweet Golden, Mac.
The family would like to recognize the incredible care and support that Lisa received from Novant Hospital and Palliative Care during the last six months, especially Doctors Schneider, Ogbata, Warlick and Case. The resources available through the Buddy Kemp Center are exceptional. When able, Lisa took full advantage of the variety of services offered to patients. Finally, Lorraine, Nick and Abena, you were a bright spot during those days in the hospital – THANK YOU!
Services will be held Friday, June 7th, 11 am at St. Gabriel’s Church, 3016 Providence Road, Charlotte. The church will open at 10 am for the family to receive guests in advance of Mass.
In lieu of flowers, the family would ask you to honor Lisa with a donation on her behalf to the Golden Retriever Rescue Club of Charlotte, P.O. Box 471931, Charlotte, NC 28247-1931.
