Lisa was born in Newton, daughter of the late George and Ann (Danforth) Chaney. She was raised in Framingham, where she attended local schools and was a 1980 graduate of Framingham South High School. She later attended Beautician School and was a hairdresser locally for several years.
She was a talented costume designer and eventually opened the YO-Momma-Designs Shop in Hudson, which she owned and operated for many years.
Lisa was a very courageous and determined individual despite her illness and was very active with the American Stroke & Heart Association.
Lisa’s passion in life was sewing and costume designing, and was only overshadowed by her love of family.

She was always willing to assist others including designing costumes for the many activities and events at the former Saint Michael’s Grammar School and former Hudson Catholic High School.
She always looked forward to the yearly summer vacations with family and friends at Hampton Beach, N.H. The unconditional love she shared with her family and their loving dogs and her spirit of helping others will be cherished by all who loved and knew her.
