Willie Bell (Collins) Wiley, age 91, of Loganville, Georgia, passed away on Saturday, September 6, 2025. "Madear", as she was more commonly known, was born on March 13, 1934, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, to the late Norah and Mary Collins. Madear was a force to be reckoned with, that had a great love and passion for life and all of those that she held near and dear to her heart. She raised her eleven beautiful children to be fiercely independent and to love one another, and to always be mindful of the needs of others. Madear, kept an immaculate house, that was decorated to perfection. She was an amazing cook, and her majestic meals were another way that she expressed her love for others. Madear was a blessing to all that knew her and the world is truly a better place because of her and will be sorely missed by all that knew and loved her. She is preceded in death by her beloved parents, her endearing husband and two precious children. She leaves behind to cherish her memories, her loving children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and a host of other loving family and friends.
