She was such a lovely and caring person. She and her husband Dr. Wise lived in the community called Carsondale. Ironically the community was a gift from Dr. Richard Carson, a black doctor to black Americans who served in the military. Mrs. Wise was our French teacher at Lincoln Elementary School. She was very patient with us; and some of the sentences she taught us in French I still retain to this day, some fifty years later.
May she Rest In Peace; such an unforgettable person!
