Lisa Edwards Obituary
Lisa Gasper Gray Edwards returned to the Lord peacefully on Monday, September 11, 2023 after living a rich life full of love and joy. Born and raised in New Orleans, LA, Lisa was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished Coco, loyal friend and beloved Big Queen of the Timbuktu Warriors. She found immense joy in spending precious moments with her husband Dow of twenty-six years. She took pride in watching her children, nieces and nephews grow into the adults they are today and she cherished every moment with her grandchildren, grandnieces and grandnephews. Beyond her family, Lisa was devoted to her friends and had a remarkable ability to establish deep, meaningful connections with people from all walks of life. She was generous to all and leaves behind a loving legacy for all to remember.
