Permelia Isenhour, 90, of Charlotte, passed away Sunday, September 19, 2004. Graveside service will be held 10am Tuesday, Sharon Memorial Park. Lowe Funeral Home is serving the family.

It broke my heart to read this obituary of my granny who passed away recently. For a woman that lived for so many years and loved and dedicated herself to her family and to receive no more recognition then name, age, and where they will bury her is an insult to my family. Also for Charlotte to write such an obituary notice shows how little she thought of her. But then again considering she purchased her dress to be buried on the mark down rack at the Walmart... so it shouldn't surprise me. I do believe she gave Charlotte much more than that in her life. One thing I was told that Charlotte's pastor did the service...Have to laugh because granny never cared for him..the fact he called her Sister Permelia she would of looked down and laughed because she thought he was an idiot..

My granny was a wonderful lady, who spent her entire life dedicating herself to her husband, children and grandchildren. She loved pappy very much..when he died in 1984 a part of her died with him...for years every Friday she would take her lawn chair and sit at his grave and tell him all about what the boys were doing and how her week went...I would tease her and she would say he hears every word I say...and am sure he did....After pappy passing she lived for her children and grandchildren...she always said she was here until it was time for her to be with pappy...never saw a woman so dedicated to another as she was to him..I found pappy to be rather crude and hard shelled person and came across very harsh...granny would always say... you have to look beyond that and if you knew him as I do then you would know what I mean...Right before pappy died I did get to see that side of him and wished afterwards I would of had a chance to know him better..Granny would always say never judge another unless you know what's in their heart..Many times we don't give others a chance to see beyond the surface and are very fast to judge..

She loved children and was very fast to tell you how they should be raised...with love she would say...Many times shopping with her she would see someone smacking a child ..only time ever I saw her be outspoken is when it concerned a child..she walked right up and made the mother stop then told her how would you like someone to hit you that way...believe me they walked away feeling very ashamed of themselves...she always said treat your children the way you wish to be treated and with the same respect..they're just a smaller version of you.

Granny was more like a mother to me..always loving and caring. She would never say you need to do this or that..instead she would say if I was you..or maybe you could do it this way maybe it will work better...we always talked and don't know what I would of done without her while the boys were little..always there to give me a helping hand..

She is survied by: John and Danielle Isenhour, Jody and Tabatha Isenhour, Justin and Stacie Isenhour, Jason and Tammy Isenhour, Jeffrey and Kim Isenhour. Also three greatgrandchildren, Alica Isenhour, Zack Isenhour, Brittney Isenhour Granny is now in heaven rocking Alisa Renee Isenhour who we lost July 17 of this year..Gives me great comfort knowing granny is with her

The memories we have of you and all you taught us will be with each of us throughout our life..We were very lucky to have known and loved such a wonderful lady as you.

Many years back granny said make sure they read 23rd Psalm at my funeral.. I wasnt there so here it is. I didn't forget

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

I will miss you wonderful lady and your wise words of wisdom and your caring smile. Your last words to me many years ago was always know I am here and I love you...I love you too granny

Memories Never Die

Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die;
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.

I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air;
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.

When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the stars that shine in the night

You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone;

Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.

I will always be with you,
I will never go away;
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day.
