August 25, 1940 — August 3, 2022

Anthony Carl Lisa, 81, died peacefully on Wednesday, August 3, 2022 at The HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence, Rhode Island, surrounded by his family.

He was born August 25, 1940 in Providence to Sylvestro and Tolinda (Russo) Lisa. He graduated from LaSalle Academy in 1958 and attended Bryant College, where he earned Bachelors of Science degrees in both Business Administration (1962) and Business Education (1967). He later earned a Masters of Science at the University of Rhode Island in 1972.

An educator for over 30 years, he taught business education, accounting, taxation, and computer science to thousands of Rhode Island students at Cranston West High School, Johnson & Wales College, and the Community College of Rhode Island. He also served for nearly a decade as the assistant principal of Western Hills Middle School before retiring from the Cranston School Department in 2000.

Other passions included gardening, travel, and rooting for New England sports teams.
