Jean WILEY Obituary

Published by Calgary Herald on Jan. 5, 2013.

WILEY, Isabel "Jean"
1923 - 2012
Our dear Mom, Isabel "Jean" Wiley of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Friday, December 21, 2012, just after her 89th Birthday. Mom was born and raised on a farm near Brock, Saskatchewan. She moved to Calgary, Alberta to attend The Garbutt School of Business where she met the love of her life, Everett. They were married in 1946 and continued to reside in Calgary until 1964 when they moved to Lethbridge. In 1990 they moved back to Calgary and then finally in 2005 moved to Red Deer to be closer to their family. Mom's favorite things were a good hot cup of tea, spending time with her family, gardening and nature. Jean is survived by her two daughters Heather (Mike) Pietramala and Diane (John) Mulgrew. She will be missed by her four grandchildren Tamara (Kelly), Tara (Steven), Patrick and Melanie and her four great-grandchildren Nicholas, Briar, Vaughn and Neva. She was predeceased by her husband Everett Wiley; parents Earl and Isabelle Clendening and brothers Donald and Claude. The family would like to extend a heartfelt "THANK YOU" to the Red Deer Hospital ER Department, the nurses and staff at Unit No. 33 and of course, Mom's special Angels at Inglewood Senior Symphony Living. A Memorial Service to celebrate Jean's life will be held at the Balmoral Bible Chapel, located at the intersection of Highway 11 (55 Street) and Rutherford Drive, Red Deer, Alberta on Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Memorial donations may be directed to the Alzheimer Society of Alberta, 10531 - Kingsway Avenue, Edmonton, AB T5H 4K1. Condolences to Jean's family may be emailed to [email protected]. Bruce MacArthur, Funeral Director.
