Genevieve Virginia Reisner, age 90, peacefully passed from us on Nov. 23, 2012, in Clarksville, Tenn. She was a long time 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.
