Genevieve Virginia Reisner, age 90, peacefully passed from us on Nov. 23, 2012, in Clarksville, Tenn. She was a longtime Vigo County resident who had moved to Tennessee to be closer to family. Born Sept. 11, 1922, in Hidalgo, Ill., to Robert and Elizabeth Leach Davison. Her parents; and her husband, Carol A. Royce Reisner, preceded her in death.

She is survived by her children, Dan (Alicia) Reisner of Carrollton, Ky., Beth (Ron) Heiby of San Jose, Calif., and Priscilla (Tim) Roads of Clarksville, Tenn.; and her grandchildren, Isaac (Caroline) Reisner, John Reisner, Andrew Roads and Elizabeth (Thomas) Upchurch; and one great-grand son, Asher Andrew Upchurch.

Mrs. Reisner was a baccalaureate graduate of McKendree College, and served for 32 years as a community resource librarian at the Vigo County Public Library. She was an active volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, Medical Missions International in Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, Lifeline, MADD, St. Ann’s Free Medical Clinic, Literacy Tutor, Friends of VCPL, and she helped to establish the Area 7 Agency on Aging and the Disabled. Her volunteer work was recognized when she was awarded the Older Hoosier of the Year in 2000 by the Indiana Governor’s Conference on Aging.
