Regina Wiley Obituary

Regina Wiley

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Regina Wiley, our loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Regina departed this life for the next Friday, Oct. 18, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Born Nov. 7, 1948, in Carey to Harold and Roxie (Risner) Bowling, she spent much of her childhood on Grove Street and often shared memories of the neighborhood and the fun times she had growing up there. She attended Upper Sandusky High School, where she met the love of her life, partner and best friend, her husband of 58 years, Bill Wiley. They married right after graduation in 1966 and spent the next couple of years in Kentucky and Vermont, where Bill was stationed in the United States Air Force. After returning to the area, they settled in Findlay to raise their family.

Regina's dedication to her career was unwavering. After her children entered high school, she pursued her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. Despite the challenges, she persevered and graduated with her degree in the summer of 1985. For the next 25 years, she served as a registered nurse at Blanchard Valley Hospital, providing care and support to the patients of Orchard Hall. Her deep compassion for those struggling with mental illness was evident in her advocacy for their care and dignity.

Regina is survived by her devoted husband, Bill; her children, Traci (Rick) Beach and Troy (Dianne) Wiley; grandson, Zac Binkley; brothers, Bill (Lori) Bowling and Dave Bowling; her adoring sister, Tonia Siler; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends whom she loved dearly.

There to greet her in heaven were her parents, grandparents, and brother-in-law, Terry Siler.

Regina's love for her family and friends was boundless. She was not only a writer and artist, but also a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She found joy in great literature, old movies, home decorating and design, and cherished the time spent with her loved ones, including her trips to Vegas with her husband.

A private service will be held for the family Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024, at HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd, Findlay, (419-422-1500).

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Regina's name or to a charity of your choice.
