Jeanette Ruth Bobo Wise, 81, of Ashburn passed away Friday, October 13, 2023, at
Forsyth Hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. A lifelong resident of Turner
County, Jeanette retired from the Ashburn post office where she initially joined as one
of the first female letter carriers in the state. Jeanette enjoyed gardening, visiting with
her family, playing cards with her friends and most of all enjoyed cooking for friends
and family whether they were hungry or not. In most recent years, she delighted in
spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
For 58 years, Jeanette was married to Bobby Wise and shared a passion for their
family and community. Jeanette and Bobby went on many camping and traveling
adventures and enjoyed motorcoach trips to places like Branson, MO, and Yellowstone
National Park. One of her most favorite trips was a cruise of the Hawaiian Islands with
friends and family.
Jeanette was a very smart, strong, stubborn, family loving woman who will be greatly
missed.

Rodney (Heather) Wise of Germanton, North Carolina, grandson Brandon (Laney)
Wise of Boone, North Carolina and granddaughter Erica (Jeffrey) Nicholson of Homer,
