Lisa E. McDevitt

A Celebration of the Life of Lisa E. McDevitt, Executive Director of the Flagler Auditorium will be held on Saturday, February 2, 2019 at 6:00 PM in the Flagler Auditorium, 5500 State Road 100 Palm Coast. Lisa’s family will gather to greet friends from 4:30 PM on Saturday until the time of services in the lobby of the Auditorium. Lisa passed away on January 21, 2019 surrounded by her loving family and friends at home. She was a prominent figure in the Flagler County marketing and business for the last 16 years. Calling Flagler County her home for nearly 43 years, Lisa spent 10 years before joining the auditorium promoting fine art and craft shows across the country. She has brought many world renowned professional entertainers to Flagler County. Lisa created and organized a variety of fund raising events for arts in education programs that provide scholarships for fine, technical and performing art students. Currently undergoing her first facility renovation, new construction and master plan project for the Flagler Auditorium, Lisa believed that as a society, we must preserve the arts for future generations and that an investment in the arts is an investment in your community. She was actively involved in city, county, and school district activities. She helped or served on many non-profit organizations and committees in Flagler County, including the Flagler Beach Museum, Kiwanis, Rotary, Open Door Ministries, Florida Hospital Flagler Foundation and Visit Flagler. She currently holds a position as an ex officio member of the Flagler Auditorium Governing Board. Lisa was a member of the Florida Facility Managers Association, Florida Professional Presenters Consortium, North American Preforming Arts Managers and Agents, Florida Cultural Alliance, Florida Alliance for Arts Education, Citizens for Florida Arts and the Flagler County Chamber of Commerce. Lovingly she is survived by her family, her children, Jaclyn, Jeffrey, John and James, her step-mother, Virginia Cascone, her brother Neil and his wife Maureen, her sisters, Cheryl Edwards and her husband John, and Jean Olsen and her husband Emerson, several nieces, nephews, and thousands of students whose life she affected throughout her career at the Flagler Auditorium. As we gather to celebrate the life and legacy of Lisa McDevitt, we ask that you come to this celebration with an open and giving heart and desire to pay tribute to a leader who cared for the Arts of Flagler County for many years.
