Lonnie Wisham

Lonnie Lee Wisham left this life the morning of December 17, 2015 at home. He was born to Fred and Rosa Mae Seaborn Wisham on June 20, 1941 in Wister, Oklahoma. His parents moved before Lonnie was two years old and he grew up and attended schools in Southern California. Soon after his graduation from high school he came to Las Vegas and began work as a Bellman at the Sahara Hotel. Over the years he also worked for the Sands and the Riviera.

He met and married Karla Kay Foresman in 1965. As Kay was a Boulder City girl, the young couple eventually moved to Boulder City. They had two sons together and bought and operated Boulder Bowl.

Later, Lonnie married Rolinda Larsen. They moved to San Diego. While there, he managed a restaurant and bar. When they moved back to Las Vegas, he supervised the lanes at the Showboat Bowling facility. His last job was the State of Nevada as a prison guard at the Jean Prison. Lonnie enjoyed golfing, bowling and fantasy football.

He is survived by his wife, Rolinda and his sons, Scott (Lisa) and Christopher; and three grandchildren, Tyson, Kamryn and Henry; his mother-in-law, Roberta Larsen and sister-in-law Joanie Larsen; his brothers Ronnie, Fred and Kennie.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at 12 noon at the Boulder City Cemetery. Friends and family can sign an online memorial guestbook at www.bouldercityfamilymortuary.com
