LISA CLOUTIER Obituary

CLOUTIER, Lisa M. Died on January 12, 2020, in Honolulu, HI, after a sudden illness. She was 54 years old. Born in Glenridge, NJ, to parents Norman G. and Lynne D. Cloutier, Lisa was a visionary thinker and passionate steward of the earth who lived her life with purpose and intention. She received her BA in philosophy from Haverford College and Master's degrees in urban planning and landscape architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Following work at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, Cambridge, MA, Lisa traveled extensively, acquiring certifications in permaculture, nutrition, and skippering and continuing her spiritual journey. A consultant and educator in ecological landscape planning and design, she was most recently focused on projects in Molokai, HI, to heal and regenerate the island's land and ecosystems. Lisa was beloved for her gentle, compassionate nature, her keen and creative intellect, her poetic gift, and her twinkling smile. She leaves behind family and close friends who loved her dearly. Memorial contributions in Lisa's name may be made to The Merwin Conservancy. Celebrations of Lisa's Life and Legacy will be held in the future. Aloha, Lisa; Mahalo.

Wow, it is almost a year and I only found out now of Lisa's passing. We met in India at the International Permaculture Conference and travelled together a bit. What a special lady. I wonder in what capacity she is weaving her magic now.

I met Lisa at a Land Trust Conference in Salt Lake City a few years back. Our conversation is one I will cherish for a lifetime. I knew I had met someone incredibly special. I am so sorry to learn of her passing.

I worked with Lisa for many years at the Lincolnm Institute of Land Policy. She was a lovely, smart, funny, and very compassionate person who felt life deeply. It is so sad to think she is gone. Aloha, Lisa.

I worked with Lisa at Lincoln Institute for many years. She was a lovely, smart, funny, and very compassionate person who felt life very deeply. It's terribly sad to think she is gone, but she did seem happier in Hawaii. I would like to know of any celebration or tribute to Lisa.

I knew Lisa when she was at the GSD. I loved her and she had the respect of quite a few faculty. I remember when Carl Steinitz told me that she had written the best paper he had ever read (and he had been teaching for a long time). I so appreciated her honesty, wry sense of humor during her time here. She was a brilliant student. I received an email from another faculty member, Gary Hilderbrand, who told me she had passed on. He also had very fond memories. I am so sorry to read this news, although it made me so happy to read what she had been doing, and only imagining how much she must have been enjoying herself. I would love to hear about a future celebration. She was so special.
