Obituary
Betty Lee Wise
85 a resident of Farmington, went home to her precious Savior on Saturday, March 26, 2016. She was born December 27, 1930 in Ft. Scott, Kansas, the daughter of Jesse Lee and Leata Earl (Funk) Ballard.
Betty married the love of her life, Edward Wise, on March 28, 1951 in Ventura, California where they began their military life.

Throughout her life, Betty served her Lord and community by teaching Sunday School, being a leader of Bible Study Fellowship, and volunteering at Washington Regional Medical Center and the Walton Arts Center. She also enjoyed time with her nature study group, lunch bunch but most of all she enjoyed her time with her family and friends. Betty Wise never met a stranger, all she met were dear friends.
Betty was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Edward, son Randy Wise, sister Zella Hunt and several nieces and nephews.
Survivors are her son Donald Wise and wife Teresa of Greenland, daughter Kyra McCown and husband Ruford of Goshen, grandchildren Daniel Wise and wife Laraine, Jessica Hardiman and husband Nathaniel, Aaron Wise, Edward McCown and wife Susan, Andrea Wise and Austin Wise and great grandchildren, Josh, Abbigail, Caleb, Bethany, Trondy, Destrie, Macheal and Molly. As well as extended family and precious friends.

Betty Wise never met a stranger. She had a smile for everyone and she shared beautiful stories about raising her children. Some happy memories were shared of her time in Hawaii and how that seemed to be a special time for her. She also loved her jewelry. I remember our time together well! Thanks for your friendship Betty.

Kyra and Don, It made me very sad to see your mother has passed. Thinking of her brought back a lot of happy childhood memories. She was genuinely kind and always welcoming and happy. When I think of her, I see her smiling face. She loved her family. I hope her love is a comfort to you all. My prayers are with you as you adjust to the new normal having lost such a special mother.
