Louise C. Wiley's Obituary
Wilmington DE Louise Cox Wiley died peacefully at her daughter's home in Bozman MD on November 14th, 2015. After 97 years of caring for and loving her family, Louise transitioned from this life to her eternal residence in Heaven. We are certain there were many who welcomed her! Louise was born on April 22, 1918 at home in Millville NJ to Caroline and William H. Cox. She graduated from Rider College in Trenton, NJ in 1937 and moved to Wilmington DE where she was employed as a legal secretary in DuPont Company's Patent Division. After taking a hiatus to raise her children from 1945-1965, she was rehired to the same job retiring in 1983. Louise and Earl, her husband of 49 years, enjoyed many summers boating, fishing and entertaining at their White House Beach home. Louise was a voracious reader, a good cook, and skilled seamstress. Louise was predeceased by her siblings, Dorothy Wick, Thomas, Mary, Danny and Billy Cox, her husbands Earl Wiley, Harry Ramsay and Bill Hansen. Louise is survived by her son George Wiley (Sandy), daughter Caroline Wiley (Marty) grandchildren Abby Frelich, Allison Tipton, Ben Wiley, Jake Wiley and 6 great-grandchildren.
