Born on March 23, 1943, in Brownwood, Texas, Nelda was the daughter of Jeff Henry Money and Laveta Mae Del Pino. She grew up with her siblings Ralph Del Pino, Johnny Del Pino and Dianne Pergrem. On June 9, 1961, Nelda married Edward Morriss Wiley in Lewisville, Texas, beginning a lifetime of love that would span more than six decades. Their partnership was a beautiful gift to all who had the privilege of being near them. Together they built a loving home and raised two sons: Rick Wiley and Shane Wiley. With their two sons, they created many precious memories. In time, the family grew to include Rick’s wife, Brenda, and Shane’s wife, Karen. Over the years, Nelda was blessed to become Nana to four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She cherished her role as Nana as evidenced by her attendance at many ballgames, stock shows, track meets and choir concerts.

In the early years of married life, Nelda enjoyed barrel racing and participating in playdays. Nelda was also an excellent cook. She is remembered for her granny’s dressing recipe. Nelda also spent many hours crafting. She will live on in the creations that she so lovingly gifted to family and friends.

In her professional life, Nelda dedicated 29 years to the Xerox Corporation, where she worked in customer service. In retirement, Nelda and Ed joined a Good Sam’s Camping Club. They spent countless weekends traveling with their camping friends—sharing stories and creating memories that brought them great joy. Nelda especially loved playing games during these outings; Canasta was her favorite. Her competitive spirit shone through as she played with enthusiasm—and often won.

Nelda was preceded in death by her parents and siblings. She is survived by her beloved husband of 64 years Edward Wiley, sons Rick (Brenda) Wiley and Shane (Karen) Wiley, four grandchildren, nine greatgrandchildren, and many dear friends who will miss her warmth and laughter.
