JOHNNY CARLISLE

May 10, 1946-June 8, 2022

A visitation with the urn present for Johnny Carlisle, 76, of

Waynesboro, will be from 10-11 a.m. on Saturday, June 18, 2022 from the

Parlor of Freeman Funeral. A procession will follow to White House

Cemetery for graveside services with military honors.

One of 10 children born to Thomas and Edith Carlisle, Sr., he was born

in Butler, Ala., on May 10, 1946. His family eventually migrated to

Clara, where he and his brothers were well known by Sheriff Marvin

Farrior for causing mischief around Wayne County.

As a young man, he served in the U.S. Army during Vietnam, earning the

Bronze Star and an Honorable Discharge. Following the Army, he worked in

the oil fields and occasionally for logging companies. Johnny and his

first wife, Patti, started their family in Clara and have three

children. He loved to hunt deer and turkeys and was known to be one of

the best shots around.

You could often find him on the river catching catfish. Johnny's

children think of him as being the real "a country boy can survive."

Above all, the thing that made him the most joyful was to make sure that

his kids and the many friends he had always had fun. He always possessed

a non-judgmental quality and was willing to lend a hand whenever he

could.

He died peacefully on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, surrounded by his family

following a reoccurring battle with cancer. Johnny's family is grateful

to all of the medical providers that made it possible for him to have

the best quality of life in his final days, including the dedicated

Unity Hospice staff and his caregiver, Carol Younger.

He is survived by his three children and their spouses, Lori and Willie

Carlisle of Oconto Falls, Wisc., Jason and Kriss Carlisle of Pulaski,

Wisc., and Chad and Jeremy Carlisle of Oconto Falls, Wisc.; his brother,

Wayne Carlisle of Clara; three sisters and their respective spouses,

Polly G. McKinnie of Farmerville, La., Judy Kay and Kirt Huffman of Elm

Grove, La., and Linda and Tony Dorsey of Hattiesburg; 10 grandchildren,

Alexandra, Ken, Kayla, Madison, Kya, Chase, Nola, Preston, Addison and

Finley; a great-grandchild, Karter; a sister-in-law, Be a Shoemaker; a

brother-in-law, Frank Henderson; many nieces and nephews; and very close

sisters and a brother-in-law, Alice Carlisle, Frances Henderson and
