Lisa Nicole Evans, 45, of Greenville, TX passed away on July 10, 2024. Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 4:00 pm at the chapel of Coker-Mathews Funeral Home with Rochelle Smith leading the service.
Lisa was born on March 6, 1979 in Dallas, Texas. Lisa was proud to be a member of our country’s foreign service. This work took her to Pakistan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, all tours where Americans were at risk. These tours impacted her health for the rest of her life causing her to end her service too soon. While the details of her responsibilities remain classified, we know from those who served with her that she was part of the efforts to disrupt the activities of both terrorists and foreign spies. Lisa loved her family and friends and had the biggest hidden heart you ever would see. She especially loved and spoiled her three nieces. Her fur babies were her world but more than anything she loved her mother, ”her person.” We take comfort in the fact that she is now reunited with her fur babies, Maxie and Bella, and especially that she is together in heaven with her mommy.
Left to cherish her life, love and memories are her father, John H. Evans; sister, Jennifer Smith and husband Nate; nieces, Mackenzie, Kate and Lillian Smith; grandmother, Mildred Laird; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Cathy Laird Evans; grandfather, J.H. Laird; grandmother, Earlene Evans; grandfather John C. Evans.
