Lisette Haigler

Mrs. Lisette Marie Cogen Haigler

Aiken, SC — Transitioned peacefully on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at

her residence. Mrs. Lisette Marie Cogen Haigler, age 88, beloved wife

of Mr. Boyd F. Haigler and daughter of the late Mr. Reny Suy and the

late Mrs. Maria Cogen. Miss Lisette was born in Antwerp, Belgium,

and had made Aiken, SC, her home for the past year after living in

Palm Springs, CA. Before Palm Springs, Miss Lisette lived in

Sacramento, Chicago, Ponce, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, Dallas, and

Laguna Beach.

Miss Lisette came to the United States at the age of 16 as an ice

skating champion from Belgium. She taught ballroom dancing with the

Arthur Murray Dance Studio in California and danced professionally

for over 15 years, continuing dancing late into life. Miss Lisette also

spent 10 years as a personal computer consultant for ARCO in Los

Angeles, CA. Boyd’s career and later retirement resulted in living in

ten different homes. Each one received the Lisette touch — from paint

schemes to furniture to artwork. Making new friends, entertaining, and

shopping were her passions. She enjoyed tennis, photography,

crocheting, sewing, and had a talent for graphic design. Additional

survivors include her daughter, Lisa McCord, and her husband, Ted

Rosenthal, of Aiken, and her four lovely fur babies. A memorial service

will be held at a later date in Palm Springs, CA.
