Lisa Herskowitz

Lisa Herskowitz, 57, passed earlier this month after a valiant battle with cancer. She was a graduate of Pomperaug High School of Southbury, CT (C/O '82), Duke University (C/O '86), and most proudly, the University of Connecticut School of Law (C/O '93), where she finished first in her class. Lisa was also awarded numerous awards of high prestige for her creative writing and work with law. Within her decorated law career, Lisa clerked for the State of Connecticut Supreme Court and went on to become a Senior Assistant State's Attorney. In her personal life, Lisa was always tending to her garden, baking family recipes, vacationing in the beautiful Topsail Island of North Carolina, and devoting countless hours to her various passion projects including the writing of several (nonpublished) books. Lisa is survived by her adoring father, Jerald, brother and sister Jeri and Sean, 'special' nieces, Alanna and Isabella, their parents Liz and Bertrum Askew, and her beloved fur babies, Texan Cooper and Dawn. She is also survived by her aunts Gail, Nancy, and Janet and many cousins. She is predeceased by her mother, Carol, and additional beloved fur babies, Jesse, Pede, and Juniper Lee. There will be no public ceremony. Contributions may be made to any animal shelter/rescue in her name.
