She was born in Sandersville, Georgia on February 1, 1964 to the late Ms. Eloise Duggan. She grew up in The Bronx, New York.

Ms. Duggan attended Public School 63, Public School 60, Junior High School 120 and graduated from Walton High School, all in The Bronx, New York.

She participated in the New York City High School Co-op Program where she went to school and worked alternate weeks; she worked at McDonald’s during her Co-op participation.

Lisa was well known in her Bronx neighborhood for taking care of her family and friends. She was a force to be reckoned with. If you knew her, then you know.

In The Bronx, Lisa loved hanging out with her family and friends. She loved music and going to parties, where she witnessed the innovation of hip hop and rap music.

In 1987, she moved back to Sandersville, Georgia to care for her ailing grandfather. After his death, she worked at Sandersville Technical College and did volunteer work in the Washington County Schools and a nursing home. She also assisted with taking care of her elderly neighbor until his death.

Ms. Duggan had a niece and two nephews whom she helped care for. They would come from New York and spend the summers with her. When her grandkids came along, she was the doting grandmother; spoiling her three grandchildren, within limits...if you knew her, then you know.
