Constance Wise

1932 - 2021

Constance Ann (Preston) Wise passed away late Saturday evening, January 23, 2021 at the age of 88. She was born on July 11, 1932 at Cheshire, Ohio to the late Edward S. and Helen (Noble) Preston.

Born and raised in Cheshire, she lived there for most of her life. Connie was a 1950 graduate of Cheshire High School. She worked in the secretarial field during her adult career, before retiring from The Jobs and Family Services Agency. One of her greatest passions in life was her love of books. The many books that she read in her lifetime greatly enriched her life. One could certainly say that she was a life-long learner. Connie also enjoyed family genealogy and always embraced her Irish ancestry. She loved flowers, and was the first to send a bouquet to an ailing family member or friend.

She is survived by a son, Kevin T. Wise, of Gallipolis, Ohio; two granddaughters, Krista Wise of Grove City, Ohio and Megan Wise McAllister of Thurman, Ohio. Also surviving are a sister, Sue Jarvis of New Carlisle, Ohio; a sister-in-law, Nancy Preston of Gallipolis; nieces, Cindy Preston Saunders and Ashton Saunders of Gallipolis, and Lori Preston of Arundel, Maine; nephews, Chris Preston of Big Horn, Wyoming, and Eric, Daniel, Garrett and Coleton Jarvis of Hermitage, Tennessee.

Besides her parents, she was preceded by her son, David Brian Wise and a brother, James Preston.

Her final resting place will be in Gravel Hill Cemetery in Cheshire. A graveside service will be held there on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 at 1 p.m. with Pastor Marc Sarrett officiating.

— "And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."
