ELISA CARRIE FOSTER STECH

ELISA CARRIE FOSTER STECH

Elisa Carrie Foster Stech “Lisa Stech” passed away early Thursday morning, Jan. 15, 2026, from complications of illness, in Portland. She was 79 yrs. old.

Born on Jan. 11, 1947 in Columbus, she is preceded in death by her parents, Ducky & Red Foster and her older sister, Nita Sue Rogers. Lisa was a twirler, Columbus High Class of ’65 and considered to be fun, an easy laugher, and “outdoorsy,” preferring to be zooming in the country on her bicycle with her trusty dog, “Collie” running alongside or, on horseback in her youth. She once took her young niece, Amy Rogers Knight on an unforgettable trail ride from Columbus to The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. In later years, her love of the Bay prompted a move to Rockport, where she traded in horses for patronizing the local arts, swimming, boating, fishing, and golfing with her husband of 58 years, Otis Stech. Rockport became their forever home.

There is nothing Lisa valued more than family, specifically, her close relationships with her sons, and grandsons. She is survived by her husband Otis, sons, David & Rau Stech, and her cherished grandsons, Foster & Fritz Stech. A small private celebration of life is slated for an undisclosed future date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the charity of your choice.
