Obituary for Drusilla Patterson Wiley (Gray)
Drusilla Patterson Gray Wiley, age 67 of Cynthiana, Kentucky passed away Thursday, March 18th, 2021 at the University of Kentucky Medical Center. She was born in Cynthiana on November 23rd, 1953 to the late Dave Patterson Gray and Billee Jane Penn Gray Dobson. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Marvin W. Wiley, her stepfather, Jim Dobson, her in-laws, Mitchell and Eudora Wiley. Also, an honorary son, Michael Stephen Cline.
She is survived by her two daughters, Ashlee (Shane) Stephens and Lesley (Ryan) Sinks and four grandchildren, Ryan Taylor & Rylee Anne Stephens, Evie Dru & Ashlee Adele Sinks.

Another sister-in-law, Pat Wiley. And many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Dru “Dodo” Wiley was unlike all others. She was an incredible & loving Wife, Mom, Dodo, Aunt, Sister, Friend, and Second Mom to many. She shared so much joy and found something to talk or laugh about with everyone. She was a dedicated Mom and best friend above all else to her babies. She was the perfect wife for “Marvelous Marvin” to have by his side, his traveling buddy and “partner in crime” as they were friends with everyone and never met a stranger. She made sure friends felt welcome and knew how to make any situation a fun time! She was truly the “hostess with the mostest!” She was certainly headstrong and genuine with the sweetest and warmest heart. What you see is what you get with “Druby.” Always there for you when you needed her, empathetic to your situation and willing to do anything to help make things better. She had a laugh that was contagious, great sense of humor, and was a very loyal friend. She was a proud “Gray” and valued family first more than anything. Dru believed in the power of prayer and she shared her love through her actions for others. She always said, “Mama loves her Babies!”
