Charlotte Rose Wise Sexton

Charlotte Rose Wise Sexton, 86, of Greene Township, peacefully passed away, surrounded by her loving daughters, on Sunday evening, June 28, 2015, at Elmwood Gardens. She was born in the village of Oak Ridge, Pa., on June 26, 1929, a daughter of the late Clifton Wade Wise and Twila Theresa Holben Wise.

She retired from Fryling Manufacturing over 30 years ago. She cherished the time she had with her family and friends. She was a member of Harborcreek Baptist Church. She enjoyed bus trips with her church family, sharing meals with her JFK Center friends, singing, yodeling, dancing, gardening, cutting her grass on her riding mower, sewing, and crafting. She also enjoyed playing cards, especially Pinochle, which she learned to play at age 80, and always seemed to get dealt aces, earning her the nickname "Ace" while playing the game. She was also a former member of the Red Hat Society.
