Nettie Risley Obituary
Preceded in death by sons, James and Dale, she is survived by daughters, Shelia Workman, Diane Tracy (Larry), and MaryAnn Koenig (Chris); sons, David Risley (Theresa) and Samuel Risley; grand-daughters, Tina Savini, Brandy Cowan, and Kara Tracy; grandsons, Randy Harter, Danny Harter, Aaron Tracy (Sharleen), James Tracy (Geraldine), Corey Risley, Eric Risley, and Justin Estep (Erin); as well as great-grandchildren and her brothers and sisters.
Our dear, faithful mother, grandmother, and sister has gone to rest in the safest place she can be now, Jehovah's memory. After a nine year battle with Alzheimer's, she never lost her love for her family and her God. She had implicit faith that what God said was true, and had dedicated her life to that fact for over 50 years.
Her hope was to see those she lost in death once again and enjoy the paradise here on Earth as promised in the Bible (Rev 21:1-3, John 5:28, 29). She will be dearly missed, until we can welcome her back to a cleansed earth.
Memorial service to be held Saturday, February 2, 2013, at 4 p.m. at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses (2180 Martin Road, Mogadore, OH 44260). (ADAMS MASON FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY, 330-535-9186)

Sam and MaryAnn. Been a long time since I've seen the 2 of you, but I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you at this difficult time.

We will miss Grandma. Shar and I were happy that she had the chance to know and love our boys. Ice fondly remembers how she used to beat him at checkers and she is the only one Grayson would call "Grandma." We pray that Jehovah keeps her in his memory until he calls and she lives again.
