For the last 17 years she has been at Pineville Church of the Nazarene where her husband is on staff. Mrs. Wise loved serving others, spending time with her family, sewing and painting.

She is survived by her husband of sixty-two years, Reverend Dewey Wise, her daughter Sheri Wise of Rock Hill, her son Steven Wise and wife Shelia of Fort Mill, grandchildren Amber and Stephanie, four nieces, and one nephew.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Ruby Voss and husband Howard, her sister Charlotte Hindman and husband Samuel, and a niece.
