Lisa Louise Handy, 56, passed away on July 16, 2017 after a brief illness surrounded by family.

Born in Norfolk, she was a 1981 graduate of Lake Taylor High School. For more than twenty years, she was a valued team member and department manager at the Walmart on Battlefield Blvd. in Chesapeake, VA.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Mary L. Handy. Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Sharena Handy; grandchildren, Nigel Handy and Daisia Handy; two brothers Lawrence Handy (Terri) and Gerald Handy; three sisters, Marcia “Lynn” Taylor (Robert), Janet Hunt, and Carol Handy; along with many treasured nieces, nephews and cousins.

Lisa was an avid beach-goer, amateur photographer and a connoisseur of great food, shoes and handbags. A lifetime resident of Berkley, her adventuresome spirit and love of travel took her and her beloved sisters to many breathtaking locations across the U.S. and Europe. We will miss our Lisa, everyone’s favorite sister and loyal friend to all, who lived each day with love and laughter.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 22 at First Baptist Church Berkley, 706 Berkley Avenue, Norfolk, VA. A repast will be held at First Baptist Church Berkley following interment at Woodlawn Memorial Park. There will be no public viewing.
