Josephine Reisman

LUMBERTON — Josephine Mary Learn Reisman, 88, went to be with the Lord on Nov. 3, 2013, following an extended battle with Alzheimer's.

A memorial service and visitation will be 2 p.m. today at Forest Acres Baptist Church.

She was born Sept. 5, 1925, in Hinsdale, N.Y., to Dana and Mary Learn.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and nine brothers and sisters.

She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Lyle Reisman; five children, Cindy Johnson and husband Danny, Todd Reisman and wife Cindy, Lonn Reisman and wife Mistie, Rusty Lundy and wife Mardie, Judy Doty and husband Kenny; 13 grandchildren, Christopher, Jordan, Daniel, Bobby, Olivia, Lonna, Zachary, Tracie, Terry, Ricky, Tonya, Tara, and Amy; 15 great-grandchildren; and a great-great-grandchild, who all loved her and will miss her greatly.

Josie was a tiny woman with a big spirit. She loved her family, her church, and most importantly her grandchildren. She was a long-time employee of Southeastern Regional Hospital for 17 years. As one of the founding members of Forest Acres Baptist Church, one of her proudest accomplishments was being the first female deacon of the church she loved so much. She loved to play games and was an avid Bridge player for many years. She enjoyed the outdoors and walking. She loved people and had a kind spirit that will be remembered forever.

The visitation is one hour before the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Forest Acres Baptist Church, 604 Barker Ten Mile Road, Lumberton, N.C., 28358, or the Alzheimer's Association, 322 Eighth Ave., Seventh Floor, New York, N.Y., 10001.

Lonn, I am sorry to hear about your mother. I lost my mother a few years ago Mary A. Howell. Remember that God don't make mistakes. You and I played basketball together at Lumberton Jr. High and Lumberton High School before you left. I think about those days alot. My Prayers are with you and your family.

To a favorite Aunt. If nothing else, we always knew Aunt Josie loved her family - all of us, but especially her kids. She had that unconditional love that is so precious. She was always there for her sisters and brothers even when the miles kept them apart. My mother cherished the letters from her sister. I remember I sent Aunt Josie some old pictures that Hinsdale Central School found of some of the 'Learn' kids. You would have thought it was a million dollars.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray for that wonderful peace that God shares with all of us to come your way.

Love, Nancy (Aunt Bernice)

To Mr. Lyle Reisman and Family,
It saddened us to hear about the loss of your wife, mother, and grandmother. My children have fond memories of her baking them cookies and giving them words of wisdom. My husband and I also remember her with a smile on her face as she ranged the doorbell bringing us our newspaper. We also remember her strong love for her family and the outdoors. Mrs. Reisman will truly be missed not only in our neighborhood but in our hearts as well.
With heartfelt sympathy,
(152 Windsor Road)

Mr. Reisman and family,
I am so sorry for your loss and sadness at this time. We are never ready to let go of our love ones. I can remember the many times I was around Josie at various Acme Electric functions. She was always so kind and sweet to everyone she met. I know with 61 years of marriage, you will have a lot of fond memories to help you thru the days ahead especially the holidays. You and your family will be in my prayers and thoughts.
