Little Silver-raised Lisa Anne Hewitt McLean passed away.
Loved ones of Lisa McLean in her obituary
Lisa was known as “a devoted wife, mother, stepmother, sister, and Nana, whose kindness and love touched everyone who knew her. Raised in Little Silver, Lisa built a life rooted in family, education, and service to others.
“After earning her education degree from Glassboro College and two master’s degrees from Monmouth University, she began a 35-year career in Special Education with the Long Branch School System. Throughout her career, she received many accolades, including Teacher of the Year, a testament to her dedication and the lives she changed.
“Though she was proud of her professional accomplishments, nothing meant more to Lisa than her family. Her happiest moments were the ones spent with her grandchildren, who knew her best simply as Nana. Her warmth, wisdom, and laughter will live on in the hearts of those she loved.”
She was the beloved wife of Harold McLean, cherished daughter of Burbon and Anne Hewitt, and sister to Robert. She was the proud mother of Kristoffer McLean and Megan McLean, and a caring stepmother to Craig McLean and Courtney MacKenzie. Her most treasured role was as grandmother to Paige, Kennedy, and Brooks Chiafullo, who brought endless joy to her life.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Lisa’s life at a memorial gathering on Monday, Aug. 18, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Thompson Memorial Home, 310Broad St., Red Bank. Burial will follow on Tuesday, Aug.19, at 11 a.m. at Woodbine Cemetery, Oceanport.
