Flora Wiseman

Flora F. Wiseman, 101, of Crump passed away Friday, Aug. 9, 2019, at her home.

She was born Nov. 27, 1917, in Whitewater to James F. and Emma E. Brase Williams. Flora survived her five siblings: Mildred Helderman, James “Jr.” Williams, Irene Trentham, John Williams and Jean Green, who passed away just two days before Flora.

Flora and Earl Wiseman were married Dec. 1, 1935. Six children were born to their union: J.E., Nelda, Nora, Elaine, Judy and Earline. She and Earl had been married 57 years when he passed away.

Flora was a lifelong member of Bethlehem General Baptist Church in Crump and she especially enjoyed the song service. She was also a member of the Hesther Eakins Missionary Society.

She is affectionately remembered as “Little Grandma” and cherished spending time with her many grandchildren.

Loving survivors include four children, J.E. (Evelyn) Wiseman of Whitewater, Nora Garnett of Cedar Park, Texas, Elaine (Vince) DiRago of Madison, Alabama, and Judy (John) Kinney of Marengo, Ohio; 12 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren. She was anticipating the arrival of a fourth great-great-grandchild very soon.

She was preceded in death by her husband; two children, Earline Wiseman and Nelda Green; and her siblings, as listed above.

Visitation will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. today at McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Jackson, the same evening as the visitation of her sister, Jean. Visitation will also be held from 1 p.m. to service time Tuesday at Bethlehem General Baptist Church in Crump.
