(Evelyn) Wiseman of Whitewater, Nora Garnett of Cedar Park, Texas, and 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.
