- Dr. Wiley Dennis Nettleton, 83, of Lincoln, Nebraska, departed this life Saturday, November 21, 2015, at his home surrounded by family.
Funeral services at Southern Baptist Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. Burial at Freedom Baptist Church Cemetery, Noble, Illinois.
Dr. Nettleton was born June 8, 1932 in Higgin Switch in Richland County, the son of Wiley Moses and Lulu Fern Watkins Nettleton. He was united in marriage to Norene Lutz on June 9, 1956. To this union were born four children, Anita and Alan McCracken, Warren and Linda Nettleton, Vanora and Thomas Baruth, and Eilene and Gene Stanger. Wiley had 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren besides a host of relatives and friends.
He will be greatly missed in the community. He accepted Christ as his savior during his teenage years. Dr. Nettleton was a member at Freedom Baptist Church (Olney), St. Johns Baptist (Raleigh, N.C.), Trinity Baptist (Riverside, California), and in 1976 Southview Baptist Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he was a faithful servant until his death. He was always present at service as long as his health would permit. His life was a living testimony. He was a kind and loving Dad dedicated to serving Faith, Family, and Friends. Wiley was always spreading sunshine in the lives of others. We cannot say he is dead, but is now with Jesus Our Savior. We cannot call him back, but we can go to meet him.
He has been greeted in heaven by his parents, brother, Donald Nettleton; his sister-in-law, Judy Nettleton; his grandson J. Foster McCracken, and great-grandson Asher Damrow.
