REISWIG 60th

Glen and Carole Reiswig celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary at Chelan Shores in Chelan, Washington, on Jan. 15, 2021.

Glen Reiswig married Carole Pershall on Jan. 15, 1961 in Cottage Grove, Oregon, where they grew up and met in grade school.

Carole graduated from Walla Walla Community College School of Nursing in 1961. Glen graduated from Walla Walla College in 1966 with a Bachelor of Science in biology. They lived in College Place, Washington, until Glen went to work for Washington State Parks as a ranger. He worked at Lake Wenatchee State Park, Yakima Sportsman and Potholes State Park. Later he became manager at Twin Harbors State Park.

In 1974, he was promoted to Region III district manager. It was at that time they bought an orchard which Carole managed until Glen retired after serving 25 years of park service.

It was there they adopted three children, one boy, Shannon, and two sisters, Casandra and Jennifer.

Glen and Carole operated the orchard for another 25 years until retirement when they moved to their home in Okanogan County, Washington, where they spent time four wheeling, visiting with neighbors or watching deer, elk, moose and bear. In the winter they spend the time at McCall, Idaho, snowmobiling and visiting with family and friends.

The Reiswig family includes Shannon and Jodi Reiswig of Leavenworth, Washington; Jennifer (Reiswig) and Lance Urwin of Ephrata, Washington; Cassandra (Reiswig) Butler of Salem, Oregon; and 8 grandchildren.
