Dr. Lisa Buras Reyes

Dr. Lisa Buras Reyes, a beloved wife, daughter, sister, educator, and friend, peacefully passed away in her home on August 4, 2023, at the age of 58. Her departure leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who knew and cherished her.

Lisa was a woman who radiated warmth and kindness, and she had a profound love for the beach and traveling, finding solace and joy in exploring new places and cultures. Her adventurous spirit led her to create countless beautiful memories with her loved ones.

As a dedicated educator, Lisa worked in the Baker School System, devoting herself to teaching and supporting ESL students. She had a special place in her heart for these students, and her commitment to their success was evident in the passion and dedication she brought to her work. Lisa's impact on her students extended far beyond the classroom to ensure their wellbeing.

Lisa was preceded in death by her father, Rodney H. Buras. She is survived by her husband Jorge Reyes, her mother Janice D. Buras, and brother H. Keith Buras. We will forever hold her memory in our hearts as we carry on her legacy of love, compassion, and generosity.

A graveside service for the family and friends will be held at Holliman Cemetery in Carriere, MS on August 12, 2023 at 10 AM managed by Rabenhorst East Baton Rouge. Lisa will be laid to rest surrounded by other family members who preceded her. Though we mourn the physical absence of Dr. Lisa Buras Reyes, let us find comfort in the knowledge that her spirit lives on in the lives she touched and the love she shared. May her soul find eternal peace, and may her memory be a blessing to us all.

Psalm 121:7-8 – The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
