KELLY, M.D., Lisa K. Dec. 14, 1970-Nov. 3, 2011 Lisa was taken to be with our Lord Thursday morning. She unexpectedly passed away peacefully in her sleep of natural causes. She was a very strong, remarkable woman in many diverse ways. Every endeavor she undertook she gave her full determination...

I went to medical school at USC with Lisa. We had great times! I still remember sitting in the rain with her at the Coliseum during a Notre Dame-USC game (in the Irish section, no less!). She was the only other person I trusted enough to allow to drive my Porsche! I remember our road trip to wine country, where we discovered Seasmoke together before it got popular in the movie Sideways. More recently I got to cycle with her before and after her cancer surgery, and saw her sheer grit and...

I worked with Lisa when she first came to CHLA.She was a wonderful neonatologist and a great teacher.I worked beside her many a night when she stayed up all night taking care of a sick baby.She loved her little babies and was so good with the families.I know how much she will be missed by her CHLA FAMILY....I have since retired,but I saw on FACEBOOK how happy she was that she was back to work doing what she was meant to do.I am so sorry for her family and her little dog,she loved that...

Lisa was one of the first friends I made after transferring into our class at USC's med school at the beginning of the 3rd year clinical rotations.
Her kindness to me as 'the new kid' in school is not forgotten. She was a kind, funny, super smart friend and I wonder at her leaving the world behind so quickly -- I know that I was not the only person helped by her ready smile, warmth and willingness to step forward to a stranger, a patient, a family member or a new collegue.

Lisa was one of my daughter's wonderful neonatalogists at CHLA. I still remember one of our conversations -- her personal compassion and medical expertise really made her an amazing doctor. My sympathy goes out to her family, friends and colleagues.

Lisa, I cannot believe you are gone. It has been honor and privilege to call you a colleague & friend. I am the nurse I am today because of you. I learned so much from you and I was always impressed with your professionalism, vast knowledge, and compassion. You were my ND football buddy and I always looked forward to quarterbacking the games with you. You have left your imprint in my life and countless other lives. May you legacy be in the babies, whose lives you saved. My thoughts and...

I knew Lisa for only a few months but right away I adored her. Lisa was the person that always made you feel like you were enough. Her infectious life, her smile, her unbelievably positive attitude, were things that I so admired about her. Losing Lisa is an enormous loss to so many. In her honor, I think we all need to remember to smile and take life as it comes and keep on smiling through all of it.

Lisa and I overlapped as pediatric residents at CNMC. And again when I was afirst year NICU attending at Children's Memorial and Lisa a last year NICU fellow. I can still see her taking moonlighting calls in the NICU at CNMC on a broken leg with a smile on her face. I am so deeply saddened by the loss of your daughter. Sad for the NICU community's loss. God be with you.
