Lise was a proud nursing graduate of L’École  des Infirmieres and Université de Montréal in 1967 before she became a Flying Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force.   She worked for the Red Cross for the Youth, Hotel Dieu, and Lake Shore General Hospital in Montreal.

She moved to Senegal, Africa, as a Supervisor of the Nutrition Education Program for Catholic Relief Services from 1968-1970 before she returned following a brief illness to work with the Victoria Order of Nurses. It was then she met her beloved husband, Meril, and they were married in Washington, D.C. in 1971.  Upon returning to Tunisia, Africa, they had their only child, Michelle Langevin Carter.  Meril, Lise, and Michelle moved to Austin, Texas, in 1975.  Lise was always actively involved in the Austin community. Whether it was volunteering at her daughter’s schools, Seton Hospital, Ballet Austin (volunteer of the year 1985), the Paramount, the PAC or Long Center, she always made time for others in our community. More importantly she was an incredible entertainer, chef, and friend. She loved her Travis Country neighbors, gourmet club, French club, and her bridge club of more than forty years!
