Las Vegas Review Journal, 9/20/2015
LISA RIGSBEE Lisa Marie Rigsbee peacefully passed away at home Sept. 4, 2015, 
due to commplications of cardiomyopathy. Lisa was born May 26, 1955, in Durham, 
N.C., to Vernon and Lorraine Rigsbee. The family moved to Miami in 1956. Lisa's 
childhood was a happy one spent playing on the beach and swimming in the ocean. 
She graduated from Norland High and worked for a Levolor Blinds Manufacturing 
Company before moving to Las Vegas in the early 1980's. She began her casino 
career as a change girl at La Concha and moved to the Westward Ho cage as a 
cashier. She was hired by the Golden Nugget cage and began a 20-year career 
with the company. Lisa transferred to the Mirage in 1989 as a member of the 
opening team. She left the company in 2005 and joined Moneytree in January 
2006, working there until her passing. Lisa was a kind and generous person with 
a deep compassion for animals and the homeless. Her rescue cat, Zeek, and 
rescue bunny, Clive, brought immense joy to her life. Lisa's pet project, 
Lele's Socks, provided hats, gloves and socks for the homeless. Each December, 
she bought provisions for 150-200 people, dropping off her donations to the Las 
Vegas Rescue Mission to be distributed during the Christmas dinner. She was an 
organ donor and gave the gift of sight to two recipients. Lisa will permanently 
rest at the Neptune Memorial Reef off Key Biscayne, Fla. The undersea memorial 
site serves to rebuild coral reefs and increase fish populations. Lisa will 
continue giving by promoting the generation and perpetuation of life in the 
ocean. She is survived by her sisters, Amy Jo Saccomano and Sue (Barry) 
Flanagan; and nephews, Ryan Rigsbee, John Flanagan and Brent Flanagan. In lieu 
of flowers, please honor her life by continuing the Lele's Socks tradition.
