Lisa Charron Taylor (nee Cardone), a long-time resident of Darien, passed away Thursday, February 19, 2015 at Norwalk Hospital. She was 48. She was born on May 6, 1966 to Albert and Jeanne Cardone in Malverne, New York, where she resided until 1975, when she and her family moved to New Canaan. Lisa attended the New Canaan schools and was a member of the class of 1984. She received her bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising from Marymount College in 1988, and later completed a professional certificate program at Fairfield University in Interior Design. Lisa is survived by her two children: Beau and Breck Taylor of Darien. She is also survived by her father Albert Cardone and his wife Beverly of New Canaan; her sisters Cynthia of Clinton CT, Nancy (and husband Bill) of Jupiter FL, Jeanne (and husband Chris) of Dover MA, Patricia (and husband Paul) of Ridgefield CT, and Victoria (and husband Martin) of Washington DC; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by her mother, Jeanne Cardone. Friends and family will remember Lisa for her quick wit, big smile, and wild fire spirit. She was happiest when she was enjoying family and friends beachside, poolside or boatside. The family is grateful to the staff of Norwalk Hospital and the Darien Emergency Medical Services Post 53 team. Services will be private. As an expression of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to Smilow Cancer Hospital at www.ynhh.org/smilow-cancer-hospital, an organization dear to Lisa.
