Elizabeth "Sis" Pendleton Wise

Dearest Loving Mother, Sister, Grandmother, Aunt, Cousin and Friend

Elizabeth “Sis” Pendleton Wise went home to be with the Lord on Saturday-February 8, 2020.

The daughter of the late James H. and Charlotte M. Pendleton, Sis was born November 4, 1950 in Washington, PA. She was a 1968 graduate of Washington High School and attended the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

A trailblazer, Sis was the first African American female to be employed in the Business Office at Superior Valve. She was later employed as a Case Manager for Washington County.

Sis entered into union with James “Tommy” Wise, which resulted in three daughters who survive, Wanda (Michael) Clements, Tara Wise and Crista Wise.  Also surviving are her grandson, Zuri Wise and brothers, James Pendleton and Vincent (Roslyn) Pendleton, all of Maryland, Robert Pendleton, of New York, Alex and Larry Frazier of Washington PA, and Reggie Brown of Wisconsin, sister in-law, Mackie Woods of Washington PA, brother in-law, John (Evelyn) Wise of Ohio and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.

Sis was a much-respected heartbeat of the community who was often called upon to organize events and bring people together. We will miss her infamous card parties and holiday gatherings, but are comforted knowing that she joins in heaven, her loving parents as well as her  brother, Troy Frazier, and sister, Valterrite Harris.

Friends will be received from 10:00 A.M. until 11:00 A.M. the hour of a funeral service on Saturday-February 22, 2020 in the Nazareth Baptist Church, 123 N. Lincoln St., Washington.  The Rev. Eric W. Tarpley will officiate.  Entombment will follow in Washington Cemetery, Garden Mausoleum.  Arrangements are under the direction of the Warco-Falvo Funeral Home, Inc., Wilson at East Katherine Ave., Washington, S. Timothy Warco, Supervisor/Director, Susan Falvo Warco, Director, S. Timothy Warco II, Director.  Condolences may be expressed at www.WarcoFalvoFuneralHome.com
