Lorna Denice Wisdom
Lorna “Denice” Wisdom, 55, passed away on Friday, March 25, 2011 at Nacogdoches Medical Center. She was born on March 30, 1955 in Richmond, Texas to Feris Jo and Barbara Joy Frazar.
She was raised in Richmond and later moved to the Martinsville Community to be near her family and enjoy the countryside. She became an administrative assistant at the SFA Physical Plant in 2000.
Employees thought of her as family. She wrote the newsletter for the department and in the course of her work, got to know more about each of them.
She had a great memory, which made her a great story teller. She loved living in the country, watching the world from her back porch and hand feeding the cows that she personally named. She was an antique collector and enjoyed traveling with friends and family in search of new finds. She was creative, enjoyed art, the ballet, and cross-stitching. She looked forward to her annual cross-stitch and quilting retreat with a group of loyal friends.
She was an active member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Nacogdoches where she served in many leadership roles. Family was the most important thing to her and she treated everyone the same. She will be deeply missed by all of those who knew her.
She is preceded in death by her grandparents; William and Yandell Frazar and William and Odessa Cox, and her nephew, Charles J. Frazar.
She is survived by her sons; Ryan Feris Wisdom and Eric William Wisdom and his wife Mandy, grandchildren; Jacob Wisdom, Taylor Knight and Andrew Wisdom, her parents, two sisters; Sheri Talbot and her husband James, Lori McKeown and her husband John, her brother; Duane Frazar, nieces; Jessica Lynn McKeown, Rebecca Talbot, Rachel Talbot, Lorna Elise Talbot, two nephews; Joshua Frazar and his wife Rebecca, Tyler Frazar, and a great-niece, Haylie Talbot.
