DEVLIN--Elizabeth Mary, born April 24, 1981, died peacefully on June 21 surrounded by her family after a two year battle with cancer. Lisi, as she was affectionately known, was the beloved daughter of Eugene and Lisbeth Devlin of Rye, NY. From the moment she was born, Lisi's radiant smile, bright outlook, effervescence, and natural grace affected everyone she met. Lisi spent her early education at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Greenwich, CT and graduated from Rye High School in Rye, NY in 2000. She attended Fairfield University in Connecticut and after a yearlong absence to recover from AML Leukemia, graduated with a BA in Communications and a minor in Education. She received a Masters of Science in Education from Bank Street Teachers College in NYC with a duel certification in Early Childhood Special and General Education. Lisi was passionate about family, children and teaching. She thrived as an elementary and then pre-school teacher. Her colleagues had the utmost respect for her but, more importantly, her students adored her. She had a natural ability to relate and interact with children having never lost her sense of wonder. She is also survived by her three elder siblings, Jennifer Burke (husband Michael) of Ridgewood, NJ, Gene Devlin (wife Lilly) of Middlebury, VT, and Christie Furman (husband Michael) of Manhattan, NY, her adoring five nephews and three nieces, her 25 aunts and uncles and 32 first cousins. In lieu of flowers, donations in the memory of Elizabeth M. Devlin can be made to Bank Street Family Center for a scholarship fund. Send to Bank Street College, 610 West 112th Street, NY, NY 10025, attn. Carla Scheele. Memorial visiting is Sunday, June 26th at the Graham Funeral Home in Rye, NY from 2 to 6pm.
