Lillye Cheely Wiley of Oxford, passed away April 26, 2018, at the age of 77. She was born June 3, 1940, to Griffith and Josephine Bullock of Eatonton, Georgia. Lillye set her eye on cosmetology and eventually owned and operated "Hairstyles by Lillye", serving her loyal customers for 55 years. Lillye loved good food and socializing. Her beginning-of-summer and Christmas parties were a treat for her family and friends. She loved working in the yard, planting flowers, and driving her John Deere tractor while mowing the grass. Additionally, she enjoyed spending time at her pool in her bikini. Lillye was a person that when you met her you would instantly love her. Cherie would tell Lillye that everybody loved her, and even in her saddest moments, that would make her laugh. Lillye, with her very humorous and sweet personality, would always say the funniest things to make you laugh. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Lillye was preceded in death by her father and mother; her loving son, Rex Allen Williams; and her cousin, Don Vinson.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Vaughn Cheely and Leighann Butts; grandson, Elijah Cheely and his sister; brother and sister-in-law, John C. "Butch" Bullock and Coy Tisdale of Hilham, TN; niece, Tiffany Bullock Messenger and Jason Messenger of Winder, Georgia; nephew, Jay and Susan Bullock of Braselton, Georgia; cousins, Terry and Alice Vinson, Jerry Vinson, Stephanie and Scott Chambers; as well as several extended cousins. Lillye is also remembered by very special friends and neighbors, including, but not limited to: Thomas Smith and Cherie Mitchell, Lisha Smith, Christopher and Gloria Wright, Corina and Dustin Schwefler, James and Carolyn Stoker, Charles and Mary Reynolds, Dee Downs, Pat Billings and Chaz Paluha.
