Glenn Wiley Obituary

Glenn S. Wiley

78, of Waynesburg, passed away in his home Oct. 19, 2019, surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born Dec. 29, 1940 in East Springfield, Ohio, a son of the late Walter and Virginia (Ash) Wiley. He resided at Lake Mohawk for 38 years and Waynesburg since 2015. Glenn was a 1940 graduate of Springfield Local High School in Jefferson County. He retired from Heinz Foods in Massillon after 15 years of service in maintenance, previously working for Superior Brand Meats 1973-87 and Canton Drop Forge 1964-73. Glenn was a member of First Christian Church of Malvern and served as a fireman for the Amsterdam Volunteer Fire Dept.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Patricia K. "Pat" Wiley, on April 18, 2014; and a brother, William "Bill" Wiley. Glenn is survived by three daughters and one son, Rhonda and Bill Carrick, Nannette and Terry Peterson, Elizabeth and John Borsellino, and Shawn and Holly Wiley; a sister-in-law, Nancy Drabick; one brother, James and Ann Wiley; nine grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. Glenn showed the value of work well done, of putting others before self, and of living a life of quiet, constant faith and service. Blacksmith, storyteller, life-long learner, Glenn loved his family enthusiastically and unconditionally. Ask about his grandchildren and be prepared to settle in for a half-hour update. "Pappy" was the consummate fan of his grandchildren, whether the event was a pre-school Grandparent day, a high school arts performance, or a college sporting event. He treasured Pat, his high school sweetheart, the love of his life.

Services will be held Wed. at 3 p.m. in First Christian Church of Malvern with Pastor Kenny Thomas officiating. Friends may call two hours prior to the service from 1-3 p.m. Interment will be in Springfield Cemetery in East Springfield, Ohio. Community Hospice in New Philadelphia was a comforting support throughout the last few months. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Glenn's memory at 716 Commercial Ave. SW, New Philadelphia, OH 44663. Condolences may be sent to:

Dear Wiley Family,
Though I only knew Glenn for about three years, he has touched my heart forever. It all began when he called for insurance coverage. Such a tender heart and true commitment to the Lord. He never doubted in his belief of healing and now the manifestation is realized. I prayed daily for your dad. In those three short years he became my best friend. I will continue to pray for you (his family) because I know he would want me to. You are all so special and he will be waiting for you. Only now, he is healed, healthy, with that warm, winning smile and a glow from Jesus arms extended. Glenn loved Jesus and persevered faithfully to the end or should I say beginning. What a Warrior, Dad, Husband and Friend. May you all be comforted by his loving memories and God's merciful peace.

I only met Mr. Wiley a few times. But if the love that his grandchildren have for him is any indication, he must have been a great man. Francesco and his sister adored him. Rest in peace.

And in the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love hears the rustle of a wing

Glenn was a great man and a great friend. He will be missed greatly and remembered often. I worked with Glenn at Heinz "midnight shift maintenance" for many years. We kept each other awake at the 3:00 a.m lunch break a lot of nights with good conversation. Over the years we became good friends in and out of the plant. Glenn once told me about a restaurant in Magnolia by the name of Tozzi's and said we should take our wives "Pat and Teresa" there some weekend. We did just that several times, what a great couple to spend time with.I could go on and on for hours about Glenn and what he taught me overs the years. I would have to say I knew Glenn as well as he knew me. We made a great team. I'll miss you buddy. Frank Carioti
