Lisa, I will never forget the beautiful smile. May GOD bless you.

Lisa's death is a great loss to all of us who knew her. I worked with her at the Reserve Officers Association for many years. She was consistently dedicated, sympathetic, cheerful (often under the most trying circumstances), and truly concerned about those around her. We are all poorer for her passing, but richer for having shared her time here. Her memory will always be a comfort and a consolation.

Sharon and Junior, Lisa was the ROA staff member who supported the registration of all the officers attending the ROA's Joint Officer Professional Development seminars held in conjunction with ROA's National Convention and Mid-Winter meeting. She was the best in providing customer support when in processing the attendees. We always received very positive feedback from the attendees about the smile she greeted them with and then taking charge to make sure they were registered and ready to go. She was such a delight to work with. I know she is up there with that same smile in processing those entering the pearly gates.

Lisa,
I was so sad hearing of your passing, it brought back so many memories, especially the time when I was dating a girl on Mercer Street and we had broken up and she wouldn't give back my high school ring. Lisa came up with a plan. She would pose as my new girlfriend and we'd go to her house and get it. We got there and the girl told us and her mother that she couldn't find it. Lisa, you sure told her when you said that might work with your moma, but it won't work with Lisa Childress!! When you told the girl if she didn't come across with that ring you'd help her look for it at school the next day, she magically found it in her pocket so I had my ring back in about 2 seconds.
Thanks for all the memories !! We were all sort of like the Dukes of Hazzard!!! Me you and bage in the shoebox!!!
You will always be missed and remembered!!!
Love,
Your friend,
Tony Jenkins

Although I hadn't seen Lisa in about a year, she would cross my mind often. She will be missed, especially from all that knew her at Carlos O' Kelly's, her infectious laugh, and kind spirit.

January 27, 2011

Her 27 years of dedicated efforts to support reserve officers are very much appreciated.
