It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lisa Alderman, who passed away peacefully on May 24, 2026, just days before her 60th birthday. Born on May 27, 1966, Lisa lived a life defined by compassion, service, strength, and unconditional love.

Lisa dedicated her life to helping others, especially children and families in need. She first served as a DCF worker, where she became a fierce advocate for children and those who needed a voice. She later spent many years as a devoted teacher, impacting countless students through her kindness, patience, and encouragement. Her caring spirit and ability to make others feel seen, valued, and loved left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

A proud graduate of West Virginia University, Lisa carried her intelligence, resilience, and warmth into every chapter of her life. Above all else, her proudest and most cherished role was being a mother. She was a deeply loving and devoted parent whose entire world revolved around her only child, Jeremiah Alderman, 26.

Lisa will be remembered for her beautiful heart, unwavering strength, infectious kindness, and lifelong dedication to protecting and uplifting children. Her legacy will live on through the countless lives she changed, the students she inspired, and the love she gave so freely to family and friends.

She is survived by her son, Jeremiah Alderman, along with many loving family members, lifelong friends, former coworkers, students, and all whose lives were touched by her compassion and generosity.

Though words cannot fully capture the loss felt by those who loved her, Lisa’s memory will forever remain a source of comfort, guidance, and love.

“Her life was a blessing, her memory a treasure. She was loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.”
