Lisa D'Andrea was a nature lover.

The Barrington resident would walk along the waters near her home, searching for seashells and unique rocks. She tended to potted plants on her window sills.

She also helped restore the nearby Allin's Cove salt marsh. "She had a tremendous zest for living," her sister, Paula, told The Providence Journal. "We're all proud of her."

D'Andrea, 42, taught special-education classes at Cranston East High School. She went to The Station with another special-education teacher, Abbie Hoisington, and other friends. Hoisington also died in the fire.

Friends said D'Andrea wouldn't have gone out if there had been school the next day.

"She went to bed by 8:30 p.m. every night," said Bethany Aspinwall, a teacher a Cranston East. "She only stayed out late maybe three to four times a year."
