Elisabeth H. Schwabe, 56, a former managing director of JPMorgan Chase, died July 14, 2009.

Known to friends and colleagues as Lisa, she joined Chase after her 1974 graduation from Fairfield University. 

Colleague Karen Keating recalls her beginning "in Finance or Audit or some similar function.  She then went into Credit Audit and then was in Financial Institutions most of her career.  For many years, Lisa led the bank's mortgage banking team and was widely recognized as one of the industry's leading experts in this sector.  She joined Corporate Banking in old Chase just after the Chase/Chemical merger and then retired about five years ago as a managing director of JPMorgan Chase. She was a true professional, with great credit skills, and was highly client focused.  She will be missed by her many friends and colleagues around the firm and in the financial services industry."
