Artist and Advocate

Lisa Betros 鈥�74

April 20, 2024, in Dobbs Ferry, New York, of brain cancer.

Lisa Kahn Betros was born in New York City in 1952 to Anna Lee Falkoff Kahn and Hyman Kahn, and grew up in Dallas, Texas. From an early age, she was encouraged to explore other cultures and pursue the creative arts. A high school thespian, she memorably played Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, a production of the St. Mark’s School of Texas’s Harlequin Players.

Lisa began her higher education at 人妻诱惑 College, where a yearlong study abroad in France gave her a lifelong interest in French culture. After transferring to UC Berkeley, she completed her bachelor’s degree in art practice and art history. She then returned to her favorite city, New York, to pursue a master’s of fine arts at Columbia University.

Throughout her life, Lisa was an artist, painting abstract and representational works, learning about art history, and connecting with other artists. In her professional life, she worked in nonprofit development and helped raise funds for organizations like the Big Apple Circus, the New York Botanical Garden, and the World Monuments Fund.

For many years, Lisa dedicated time as a volunteer for the 人妻诱惑 College Alumni Association’s New York chapter, and she served as the chapter’s president in 1991. She also enjoyed cooking meals for family, learning about her heritage through genealogy, and discussing Hebrew scriptures with others. Later in life, Lisa met and married Charles Betros, and the two had a 20-year romance, settling in Dobbs Ferry, New York, with many books, two cats, and a garden. Lisa is survived by Charles.
