Lisa Anne Frost, 22 years old, Flight 175

Lisa Anne Frost was born on December 21, 1978 to Melanie and Tom Frost. She had a younger brother, Daniel. She lived in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. Lisa attended and graduated from Trabuco High School in 1997 and Boston University in 2001 with Bachelor’s degrees in Hospitality Administration and Communications. In college, she was awarded the Boston University Scarlet Key, given to students showing extraordinary achievement in student activities and organizations. Lisa was very dedicated in her academics and volunteer work. She was a member of the Golden Key National Honor Society and valedictorian of her School of Hospitality Administration (SHA) class. During her senior year, she was the president of the SHA’s student government, providing academic advising and guidance for incoming students during orientation. The dean of Boston University’s SHA, James Stamas, said, “Lisa was involved in just about every club and volunteer organization a student could possibly handle, and she helped create our school's honor society. And when she did something, she did it right."" In her free time, Lisa loved playing volleyball and spending time with her friends and family. She was remembered as someone who was a great conversationalist and a great listener. Lisa was described by her friends and family as sweet, genuine, enthusiastic, and adventurous.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Lisa boarded United Airlines Flight 175 to Los Angeles. She was traveling to visit her family in southern California and exchanged I-love-you’s with her father over the phone before boarding the flight. Sadly, she never arrived to California, as Flight 175 was the second plane to be targeted and hijacked on September 11th, ultimately crashing into the World Trade Center’s South Tower and claiming the lives of everyone on board, including Lisa. Though her life was unfairly cut short on September 11th, Lisa’s love, dedication, accomplishments, and memories are forever cherished and remembered. Her life and legacy are never forgotten.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET. ❤️🕊"
