On Sunday, July 18, 2004, the Lord called his beloved servant, Sister Eunice Williams Wiley, home. She was a resident at the West Monroe Guest House, Nursing Home Facility in West Monroe, Louisiana.
Sister Wiley was born on May 1, 1910, to the late Will and Anne Williams, in Ouachita Parish. She spent a total of 94 years on the battlefield of life. She confessed her belief in Christ, and accepted Him at an early age. While functioning as an active member with the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, she was crowned Deaconess, Mother of the Mission Board, active Sunday School student, Vice-President of the Senior Choir, Choir Member, dedicated Prayer Band Member, and served in the position of "Ruth" with "Look to the East #87" OES, PHA, Eastern Star. Sister Wiley was always willing to serve others, and fed other people throughout the surrounding communities.
Her husband, Jesse Wiley, Sr., and two of her six children- Robert and Mildred (Cassey) - preceded her in death. However, her memories will long be cherished by her siblings: Hershel Williams of California; Tillie Parker and Lula Jackson of Monroe, Louisiana, four children; Jesse Wiley, Jr. (Dorothy) of West Monroe, Louisiana; Roy Wiley of New Jersey; Lucy Jackson (Andrew) of West Monroe, Louisiana and Joe L. Wiley of Shreveport, Louisiana. Seventeen grand-children, thirty-one great grandchildren, five great-great grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7
