Elizabeth “Lisa” Reynoso was born April 9, 1966, in Weslaco, Tx. Raised in Weslaco, she graduated from Weslaco High School in 1984 and would go on to receive her Bachelor’s degree in Management and a Masters in both School Administration and Counseling from the University of Texas Pan American.

She extended that same fearless spirit as an advocate, founding an amputee support group in the Rio Grande Valley that met monthly in order to educate and assist in finding resources for her fellow amputees. Lisa cared deeply for her family and loved traveling to see them in Scottsbluff and North Platte, Nebraska and Chicago, Illinois and she was always ready to spend time with two generations of her nieces and nephews.
