Lisa Marie Devlin
Born in San Francisco, California, January 12, 1953, died November 16, 2013, in Oakland, California. Lisa was the beloved daughter of the late Frank Devlin and Elizabeth Barbata Devlin and sister of Diana Heafey (Tom) and Frank Devlin (Nancy). Lisa was fond aunt to her four nephews, Michael (Nancy), William (Julie-Anne), and Brian (Jennifer) Heafey, Tad Devlin (Miranda), and niece, Leslie Devlin. She will be remembered as an affectionate grand-aunt by her four grand-nephews, Matthew, William, Luke, and John Heafey, and six grand-nieces, Madeleine and Charlotte Heafey, Tatiana Kaeo, Chloe Devlin, and Rebecca and Rachel Agpaoa.
Lisa was raised in San Francisco. She attended Mercy High School and studied at San Francisco State, Emerson College in Boston, and graduated from the University of Vermont. She received her masters degree in theater arts from the University of South Carolina. Lisa worked in theater productions in Connecticut and Maine before returning to San Francisco to work at the Opera Shop, the Ballet, and on various movies including "Mrs. Doubtfire", "James and the Giant Peach", and "Made in America". In all of these locations she made deep, lasting friendships. Lisa was known to her many friends as mischievous, fun-loving, loyal, and caring. She was devoted to her dog Zander, and was vitally interested in environmental concerns.
Lisa was wonderfully cared for by her relatives and friends from near and far, Paula especially was constantly beside her during her final weeks, and Lisa was never alone. Rest in peace, Lisa.
There will be a gathering in Lisa's memory on her birthday, January 12, 2014.
