Who is Lisa Blunt Rochester’s first husband?
After being recruited to run the Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League, Lisa Blunt Rochester met her second husband, Charles Rochester, an engineer who was working in China at the time they met.
After a mostly long-distance relationship, Lisa Blunt Rochester married Charles Rochester in 2006, and was excited to start the next chapter of her life with Charles, and went to live with him in China the same year they got married.
However, after Charles went on a business trip to St. Louis in 2014, he tore his Achilles tendon and had to have surgery. Although the surgery went well, he developed blood clots in his lungs and his heart and tragically passed away on September 25, 2014.
