Jannie Sue Carlisle Wiseman was born on April 28, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee. She graduated from Sheridan High School as valedictorian of her class and then attended Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
Jannie met Billy Roy Wiseman, in Memphis, Tennessee in 1961 and they were married on November 22, 1962. During their 58-year marriage, they lived in Memphis for five years before moving to Southaven in 1967. They were members of Colonial Hills Baptist Church where Jannie became the church treasurer and financial secretary. She served in this position for 27 years, and then worked another 20 years at Brannon Professionals before she retired in 2018.
Jannie enjoyed listening to gospel music, traveling with the TNT church group, going on cruises with her family and friends, shopping, water skiing, trips to “the country” to ride four wheelers with her grandchildren, going to the rodeo with Roy, and above all, spending time with her family and friends whether over a meal or just coffee. Her family was essential to her and her greatest joy came from being with those she loved.
Jannie went to Heaven on January 25, 2021. She was preceded in death by her parents, Waid and Margie Carlisle; her daughter, Pamela Rena Wiseman; one grandchild; her brother, Wayne Hall; four half-sisters, Dorsie Wilson, Dixie Phillips, Ladurma Smith, and Mildred Cox.
Jannie is survived by her husband, Billy Roy Wiseman; a daughter, Belinda Brannon (Mark); a son, Brent Wiseman (Christy); two grandchildren, Jonathan and Callee Wiseman, all of Southaven, MS; two sisters-in-law, Nell Hall of Monroe, LA and Jackie Stokes of Pontotoc, MS. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
