Obituary of Frances Lee Dilday Wiles

Frances Lee Dilday Wiles, 73, passed away on the morning of March 30, 2020 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Lee was the daughter of Ernest Dilday, Jr. and Ellen Frances Brown Dilday and was born in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on August 30, 1946. She married Frederick “Fred” Webb Wiles in 1968 in New Orleans. Lee was a devoted wife to Fred until his death in 1980.  Fred and Lee had two children, Rachel Wiles Bradford and Brian Christopher Wiles.

After being a homemaker, she earned her Associates Degree from Dekalb Community College and worked as a mortgage loan officer for many years. In addition to working, she was a tireless volunteer for PTA and Girl Scouts. You could find her most weekends cheering and running on the sidelines of her son’s soccer games. Along with her quick wit, she enjoyed crossword puzzles, reading mysteries, and spending time with her family and friends. Her granddaughters were the light of her life.  Lee was known for her generosity, loyalty, and undying devotion to her loved ones. She always placed others’ needs ahead of her own.

Lee is survived by her children, Brian Wiles of Augusta, Ga and Rachel Wiles Bradford, son-in-law, Wes Bradford, granddaughters, Cara Leeyanni Bradford and Sophia Marie Bradford of Charleston, SC. She is also survived by her brother, Ernest Dilday, III, and her sisters, Ellen Washington and Kay Dilday Johnson, as well as her nieces and nephews.  

Lee will be missed dearly by her family and friends. A memorial service will be arranged at a later date.
