On October 30, 2025 Lisa Suzanne Cornell De Graw went home to be with the Lord. She was a devoted wife to her husband of 40 years, and devoted mom to their children Daniel and Grace. Born in Manhattan she grew up in northern NJ and moved to NM in 2008 with her family.

She was a licensed Physical Therapy Assistant until the children were born. She then took over homeschooling them through high school. Her love for writing led to her having stories published in devotionals. She loved bird watching, photography and was an accomplished flute player. 

She is survived by her husband John, her son Daniel, daughter Grace, brother Raymond Whitehead and sister Donna McCarthy.

Growing up her family consisted of her mother, her brother and sister. During the last few years she found aunts, uncles, and cousins she never knew she had. We were able to go visit many of them which thrilled her beyond belief. Family is so important.

The memorial service for her will be held December 12th at Europa. She is missed by everyone who knew her.
