Shalise Nakita White
Shalise (Lisa) Nakita White, 32, joined her mother Nakita White in Heaven July 14, 2020.
Lisa came into this world premature weighing a mere 2lbs, 7 oz., she fit inside the palm of her grandfather’s hand. Born October 13, 1988 to Nakita Louise White, Oceanside, CA and Aaron Bernard White, South Bend, Indiana.
Lisa was a survivor and a fighter spending the first month of her life in the Neonatal Intensive Care (NIC) Unit. She met all growth mile stones and continued to celebrate life annually with the other NIC Unit babies every year for the first three years of her life.
Lisa was raised by her grandparents in Oceanside, CA. She graduated from Vista High School. Lisa was lovingly called “Nik” by her Pop-pop and Lisa by most of her aunts, uncles and cousins.
Lisa had a beautiful soul. She was smart, loving, caring and compassionate. Shaneka said, they switch roles, Lisa was more of a big sister to her. If you needed anything Lisa would be there for you. Despite what or who Lisa may have been up against, she would not back down until she said her peace, she would not be silenced.
Lisa had a passion for fashion and wanted to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology. She loved to read, write and sing.

Dear Lisa,
It is with such regret that i am sitting here writing you under this circumstance. I hope you know you were loved! I hope you knew how much comfort you were to me walking from that bus stop together or even talking to me from your window when you were on punishment. I hope you know you were so beautiful and unique and one of a kind. I pray you are singing all your songs from your journal. I pray you know how much you meant! It is not up to me to question God, so i instead pray that he comfort you and keep you. Rest peaceful babygirl! Love ya alwaysssss
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this and it’s so difficult for me to do. You were my best friend and sister all through elementary, middle, and high school. You are a pillar in my childhood. We did everything together! I remember spending the night at your house in your bunk beds staying up all night talking about what boys we had crushes on and what our future would be like. You wanted to be a singer and had a journal of songs you had already written ready to take the stage. Unfortunately your life was cut too short, you had so much more in store for you and so much to offer. I pray that you got everything out of this life that you could and that you experienced a lifetime of love and joyfulness. I’ll never forget the memories and good times we shared. Rest now my friend. I love you Lil Lisa
It was sad to hear this news. So young!
I regret not getting to spend more time with you, but know I loved you so much. You too are amongst the angels called to watch over us all. Rest in paradise my dear.
Condolences for the/my family during this loss. Praying God’s hand comforts all.
Knew Lisa since a baby, she always was a sweet person, always called her and shaneka my cousins, I’m still blown away she is gone, I will miss our talks we had on the phone, and the positivity she always had
Lisa,
I remember the day dad brought you home you were so small. We had to purchase baby doll clothes for you to wear but even those items were to big for you.
You are a beautiful person. I loved watching you blossom into a young lady, navigating your way through life. I will cherish the Christmas talent shows, camping trips and talks we shared. Most of all I will always smile as I remember hearing you call for dad saying, Pop-pop. It was so cute. We all chuckled a little whenever you called him. He loved you so much and enjoyed raising you, becoming a carpool dad again at the age of 49. It brings peace to my heart knowing you all can reunite again and you meet your beautiful mother.
When you came to stay with us you took some classes at Chaffey College and was interested in Journalism and fashion. I will forever cherish that time we had with you.
I love you and miss you always.
Teardrops on my face, it’s like teardrops become waterfalls by the time they reach my laces
My eyelids is like levees but my tear ducts is like glaciers
As I contemplate creation
I can’t stop my mind from racing, I got numbers on my phone
Pictures on my phone
The day my cousin died, I scrolled her texts all day long
The physical returns but the connection still stay strong
Now I understand why you used to cry sometimes we ride down Cherry
You just missed your…
Now I just miss my cousin
