Doris C. (Cornwell) Wiley

   Doris C. Wiley, 96, passed away at her home in the town of Cape Vincent Monday, March 3, 2025, with her loving family at her side. 

   Doris was born in Clayton September 8, 1928, daughter of Morris E. Alma M. (Percy) Cornwell. She was a graduate of Clayton High School and the Syracuse School of Business. On August 12, 1950 she married Harold L. Wiley at St. Vincent of Paul Church, Cape Vincent. Harold died May 11, 2024.

Doris was a communicant of St. Vincent of Paul Church and was a member of its Altar Rosary Society, member of the PTA, and the TI Booster Club. She enjoyed flower gardening, sunsets, and being outdoors. Doris and Harold attended all of the sporting events for their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Time spent with her family at the cottage was very precious to her - all the dinners, picnics, and celebrations.
