Mrs. Joy Marie Wiles' Obituary
Joy Marie (Sneiderman) Wiles, passed away unexpectedly on August 27, 2023, alongside her husband Thomas M. Wiles Jr. Her family is deeply saddened and shocked by her sudden death.
Joy was born December 22, 1948, in Mountain Grove, Missouri to Herman E. and Lounelle V. (Bayless) Sneiderman. She was a retiree from the United States Postal Service. Joy was passionate about horses, her family, friends, and her faith. Joy, a long-time member of Tuscarora Gun Club, was active in hunting and shooting sports.
Joy is survived and missed by two brothers Ned C. Sneiderman (Suzy) and James E. Bullman, sister Kay L. (Sneiderman) Woodruff, son Kenneth Edward “Eddy” Reed (Dawn), daughter-in-law Danielle (Lavely) Reed (Kenny), stepson Thomas “TJ” Wiles (Toni), stepdaughter Kim (Wiles) Hagelin (Joe) and long time family friend John Gauthier (Joe).
Her memory lives on with her nieces & nephews: Ginger, Ned, Katie, and Caroline. Her greatest joy in life was her grandchildren Kylie, Korina, Christopher, Tyler, Samantha, Kaitlyn, and Zachary and great-grandchildren Jaxson, Reagan Grace, Everleigh, and Gabriel as well as dozens of surrogate grandchildren including Ryan, Ronald, Brooke, Kolbi, Dylon, and Stephanie whom she helped to raise and cared for like her own.
In addition to her parents, Joy was preceded in death by her brother Joe R. Sneiderman, and her son Kenneth “Kenny” Lee Reed.
She was “Grandma” to many who surely all have a story to tell of her and memories to last a lifetime. She touched numerous lives and will never, ever, be forgotten.
Graveside services will be held at Resthaven Memorial Gardens, 9501 Catoctin Mountain Hwy, Frederick, MD 21701 on Thursday September 7, 2023 at 2:30 PM.
“You never said I’m leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knew why. A million times we needed you, a million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place that no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God took you home.”
