Juanita Wiles left her earthly body for her eternal home on March 22, 2025, at the age of 92 years.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 69 years, James (Andy) Wiles. She is survived by their children and spouses, Juquita and Mike Feeley of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Pam and Paul Robinson of Brenham, Texas, and Lowell Wiles and Paula Miller of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Juanita is also survived by a brother, Billy Ray Martin, and sister, Carloyn Pierce.

She is also survived by her grandchildren and their spouses: Andy and Maggie Wiles, Joshua and Hilary Robinson, Charley and Ruth Feeley, David and Lesley Robinson, Caleb and Chelsea Feeley, Stephani and Chase Sanders, and Jessica Feeley and her great grandchildren: Cohen and Dylan Wiles, Ellis and Astrid Robinson, Clara Robinson, Aubrey, Brooklyn, and Charley Feeley, Beckett, Saylor, Jaxson, and Ashton Feeley, and Tucker and Piper Sanders.

Juanita was born in Cherry Hill, Arkansas on May 26, 1932, to Jack and Clemmie Martin and was the second of their five children. She grew up in Cherry Hill, Arkansas, before marrying James and moving to different locations, including internationally, during his long military career.

During these travels, and afterward, “Sister Wiles” continued her life of service, as she and her husband were pastors of Assemblies of God churches in Arkansas and Texas before retiring in 1998 to move to Tulsa to be closer to their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.

She was a natural entertainer, an experienced musician, ventriloquist, and had a special love for engaging children and young people. She was a positive influence in many young lives.

She was an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and had recently been recognized for more than 50 years in that service to her faith.

A graveside service celebrating Juanita’s life will be at 10:00 AM on Friday, March 28, 2025, at the Fort Gibson National Cemetery in Fort Gibson, OK. Juanita will be laid to rest next to her husband. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her honor to the charity of your choice.
