Dynamic Lissa Margaret Kane Keller passed away on December 17, 2024 after a diverse and unique lifetime. A Cleveland native since immigrating from Germany in 1937, Lissa was a creative, talented, and inquisitive entrepreneur, entertainer, writer and business woman. Lissa opened Nostalgia Antiques in the old Halle Building in Downtown Cleveland and The Elephant’s Trunk in Chagrin Falls. She worked with local theaters like DOBAMA, CVLT, and The Cleveland Playhouse. She loved her city, Cleveland, and bragged about it to whoever would listen. Lissa extended her Cleveland brags when she worked as a docent for the traveling tour company Great Days Tours. One of Lissa’s proudest legacies is traveling to different schools in the Cleveland area and enlightening the students about the Holocaust. Lissa loved sharing her story to help impact acceptance, peace and love and she was adamant that we should never forget. Her cherished memory is held dearly by her children Kim and Flint, her grandchildren, Kyle, Quinn, Rachel, Cade, Birdie and Emily and her great-granddaughter Gwen.
