Obituary for Jean Marie Wiley

Dr. Jean Marie Wiley, 94, of Fairfield, PA died peacefully Thursday evening, April 20, 2023 at Columbia Cottage of Hanover.

Born May 23, 1928, in Washington, DC, she was the daughter of the late Cecil E. and Katherine (McManus) Wiley. She is survived by her cousins, friends and colleagues.

Jean Marie graduated from the Visitation Academy in Washington, DC. and went on to receive both her Bachelor and Master’s degrees from Catholic University in Washington. She was a social worker at a Catholic Adoption Agency for many years. She then did missionary work in Pakistan for a number of years before getting her medical degree from Women’s Medical School in Philadelphia. She then went on to serve her residency at D.C. General Hospital where she later managed the Emergency Room and trained physician assistants. Upon leaving DC General she worked at various clinics in the area. After retiring at age 65, she participated in various ministries and led many groups on pilgrimage to Medjugore in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Jean knew as a young girl that she wanted to give her life to Our Lord Jesus Christ. She had great devotion to the Holy Eucharist and often stated that the happiest day of her life was receiving her First Holy Communion. She then became a daily communicant throughout her entire life. On March 25, 1946 she made her vows as a consecrated virgin and on August 4, 1949 she made her final promise as a Third Order Dominican. She joined the Secular Institute of Caritas Christi on August 5, 1988 and was a member of the St. Martin de Porres Chapter of Third Order Dominicans.
