Shirley J. (Martin) Wiley, 90, residing in Milan, passed away Monday evening, March 13, 2023, at her home after a brief illness.

Shirley was born Sept. 6, 1932, in Ashland, to the late George G. and Gladys P. (Bone) Martin.

Shirley was raised at Flat Rock Children's Home which influenced her throughout her life.

In addition to her parents, Shirley was preceded in death by her sister, Patricia E. Zellner; and brother, Dwayne Martin.

Visitation will be 10 a.m. Saturday, March 18, 2023, until the time of Shirley's memorial services at 11 a.m. at Groff Funeral Homes & Crematory, 1 S. Main St., Milan, with Pastor Wally Gilbert presiding.
