Lisa Tagalakis Obituary
Born in Manchester, NH on September 16, 1970, she was the daughter of the late George and Aphrodite "Deedee" (Vergas) Tagalakis. She was a lifelong resident of the Queen City.
She graduated from Manchester Memorial High School, Class of 1988. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Keene State College.
Her passion for education was evident in the seventeen years she spent teaching at Webster Elementary School and Manchester High School Central, where she positively impacted countless students. Later, she was an administrative assistant at Tekni-Plex.
She was a longtime member of St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral.
Lisa was a talented artist, especially in painting and calligraphy. She found solace in tending to her garden, nurturing beautiful flowers that brought color and life to her surroundings. In her garden, she also cultivated butterflies, finding joy in their delicate presence. Alongside her love for nature, she adored her cat, Leo, and her faithful dog, Tobie, as she had a special connection with animals. Lisa had an affinity for the ocean, and enjoyed trips to the beach with her fiancé, Ryan. She will be missed immensely and held close in heart always.
The family would like to thank the staff of the sixth floor palliative care unit at the Elliot Hospital for their outstanding care and compassion.
May Her Memory Be Eternal.
Family members include her beloved twin sons, Benjamin and Paul Fedor; a brother, Marc Tagalakis and his wife, Kristen Temple; her fiancé, Ryan Taglieri; and several nieces nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Services were private.
Burial took place in Pine Grove Cemetery, Manchester, NH.

The last time I saw you we smiled and nodded "hello" to one another. Today, I am nodding, "goodbye" and wishing you all the beauty and eternal happiness that the spiritual world has to offer.

Marc, Paul, Ben, Ryan and Kristen,
I'm so sorry about this unbelievable loss.
Lisa had such a love of life and indomitable spirit.
She was never happier than with her family.
I truly believe you will hear her voice, laughter and feel her presence in those quiet moments.
She was only briefly on this Earth but surely made an impact.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers,

I was absolutely shocked to read of Lisa’s death in the paper yesterday morning . She was a superb teacher & a delightful colleague at Central. We would often greet each other at Glendi in the years since retirement.
My sincere condolences to Marc & her entire family. Memory Eternal!

Ben, Paul, and Marc, I was deeply saddened to learn of Lisa's passing. She was a bright light with her shining smile and her artistic talent that inspired many of her Central High students to love art.
Lisa is gone too soon, but may your good memories of her remain with you and comfort you at this time. Blessings be upon her and upon you all.

School pews.
I didn't know what her name was until her mother "Dee" spoke to me at my brother's wake, George Demos, he passed away on February 23rd 2014. She told me that her husband's funeral was on the morning of my brother's wake.
May their memories be eternal.

Lisa's smile was so beautiful. I remember how happy she was when Ben and Paul were born. She paid tribute to her Mom and Dad by nurturing monarch butterflies and releasing them to heaven. She offered to help my daughter with her newborn twins. Lisa was so giving and helpful to all that had the pleasure to know her. Her talent as a wonderful artist will live on in the students she taught. Her spirit will live on through her sons. May the memories you shared bring you comfort at this time of sorrow. Rest in peace Lisa.

Lisa, you had the biggest most beautiful smile. I’m saddened that you’re gone but it comforts me to know that you are with George and Deedee once again. I’m truly thankful for our last texts to each other “love you”
I’ll be watching for all the signs that you’re still here with all of us. May your memory be eternal.
