Johanna Wittig Lemaire

Franklin, NC - Johanna Wittig Lemaire, 99 of Franklin, NC, went home to be with her Lord on the 24th day of January 2010. She was born in Wattensheid, Germany on the 10th day of February 1910. She was the last of seven children born to Wilhelm and Emilie Wittig. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Georg Lemaire, sisters, Emma, Paula, Friedchen, Lieschen, and Martha, and one brother Hannes.

She loved the Lord and was a member of Union Methodist Church of Franklin. She loved gardening, reading the Bible, and her rose bush. She was most loving and unselfish to the many friends that had come to visit with her. Thank you to all that knew my grandmother and visited with her.

She is survived by a son, Luwe Lemaire of Franklin, NC, grandchildren: Angel Lemaire of Franklin, Deanna Stacey and husband Dan of Alabama, Gina Davis and husband Eric of Florida and Christopher Lemaire of Franklin, NC; great-grandchildren, Heidi, Joshua, D. J., Michael, George, Waylon, Amber, Zachary, Taylor; great-great-granchildren, Dakota, Hanna, Savannah, Skiler, and nieces and nephews in the Netherlands.

The family would like to extend its sincere gratitude to the nurses, CNA’s and staff on orange hall at Britthaven of Franklin for their care, support and compassion. She will be solely missed by all. We love you OMA.
