Lisa Chaffman Moore

Lisa Chaffman Moore was born to the late Clifford Chaffman and Naomi Phillips in Glen Burnie, Maryland on March 8th, 1960. Lisa began her career at 17 as a language student for the National Security Agency. She served in a number of diverse roles (transcriber, analyst, staff officer and manager) in a variety of the agency’s Signals Intelligence missions through her 41 year career. Through the agency, she earned her undergraduate degree from University of Maryland University College and her graduate degree from Johns Hopkins University. Her career afforded her the opportunity to live abroad which was something she greatly enjoyed. Lisa was blessed with an abundant circle of family, friends and loved ones. One of the greatest joys in her lifetime was becoming the mother to her daughter, Rachel Moore. She raised her daughter to embody the same values of kindness and empathy toward others and to live and embrace life fearlessly and with passion. Lisa loved to travel and spend time on the water or at the beach particularly. She cherished the view of a sunrise or sunset and appreciated simplistic moments, whether it was enjoying a cup of coffee on her screened in porch or laughing with friends over fond memories. In the fall of 2018, Lisa was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer. Through her three and a half year fight against cancer, she experienced remission along with a recurrence and demonstrated an indescribable amount of strength and grace during this time. In the days prior to and of her passing, Lisa continued to display the same resilience she had since her diagnosis and throughout her fight against cancer. Lisa is survived by her daughter, Rachel; brothers Steve (Donna) and George (Amy) Chaffman; former spouse and dear friend Frank Moore. She is predeceased by her brothers Anthony and Bruce Chaffman; and her parents Clifford Chaffman and Naomi Phillips. While Lisa will be missed by those near to her, the impression and light that she will continue to leave on this earth is immeasurable. To know Lisa was to love her and she would ask those that she leaves to continue to live and love more. A memorial service will be held to honor Lisa on April 11th, 2022 at St. Augustine Church at 11am located at 5976 Old Washington Rd Elkridge MD 21075 and will be followed by a celebration of life from 1pm to 4pm at The Blackwall Barn & Lodge, 329 Gambrills Rd, Gambrills, MD 21054. In lieu of flowers, donations would be greatly appreciated and welcomed to one of the following organizations: Hospice of the Chesapeake, Colorectal Cancer Alliance or Wellness House of Annapolis.
