Obituary

Lisa Suzanne Nixon, 56, of Londonderry, NH died on February 14, 2020 at Portsmouth
Regional Hospital in Portsmouth, NH. We would like the memory of her to be how she lived and not how she passed. Lisa was born March 21, 1963, in Saugus, MA. She was the daughter of the late Frederick Nixon and Barbara Alpers Nixon of Derry, NH.

Lisa was raised in Derry, NH and was a graduate of Pinkerton Academy. She received her bachelor's degree in Music from Plymouth State College in 1986 where she was a member of the sorority Chi Alpha Zeta. Lisa was a beloved music teacher in the Derry School District, teaching elementary school, middle school, and assisted John Harrington with music programs at Pinkerton Academy. She moved to Liberal, KS, and was a truck driver for heavy and tractor-trailer trucks. She became a dispatcher for National Carriers in 1998 until 2010. Lisa was a born “life of the party”. She enjoyed pool playing, bartending in various establishments including the Colorado Club at Weirs Beach, was a devoted Harley Davidson motorcycle rider, and attended Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in SD.

She is survived by her sister, Cindy and husband Peter Welch of Belmont, NH; brothers
Frederick “Jay” Nixon and companion, Celeste Gosselin of Hampstead, NH; Richard Nixon and companion, Patricia Ditton of Newburg, OR; nieces and goddaughters, Jessica and husband Eric Kratzer of Hutto, Texas; Tayla Nixon of Dover, NH; and nephew Andrew Petersheim and fiancé Brianna Case of Warner, NH. Lisa is dearly missed by her longtime friends Jill Adams of Londonderry, NH; and “adopted sister-in-law” Paddy Griffin of Rochester, NH.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date at Forest Hill Cemetery in East Derry,
NH.
