Barbara Wise Obituary
Barbara Warren Wise
Barbara died peacefully just past her 101st birthday. Her strong faith in God and positive attitude served her well over the years. She was an amazing wife, mother and friend to many. Always with a smile and a positive thought. Barbara loved being a wife and mother, followed closely by her love for good books, the television show Jeopardy and, of course, the game of bridge. She was predeceased by her parents, Louise and Henry Warren; her husband, Gordon James Wise and her son, Thomas Peter Whitmore.
Barbara is survived by her daughter, Betsy Warren Whitmore; grandson, Michael Justin Whitmore; brother, Raymond Houghton (Virginia) Brady; nephew, Raymond Brady III and her niece, Lisa Brady.
Service and burial will be private.

Betsy and family, I'm so sorry to read about your mom's passing. She sure did have a good long life but I'm sure for you and the family, it's hard to lose her. With deepest sympathy.

Betsy, it was a privilege and honor to know your mother over the last 20 or so years. She was most definitely one of the most upbeat and interesting women we´ve known.
