Kathryn Hawthorne Wiley, 77, of Abbeville, wife of J.C. Wiley, died Saturday, September 19, 2020 at Self Regional Medical Center. She was born in Abbeville to the late Floyd and Clara Cheney Hawthorne.

A 1961 graduate of Abbeville High School, Kathryn was employed as a Mary Kay consultant for over 35 years. Kathryn’s father, Floyd, established Noah’s Ark, an antique furniture business, and she, along with her husband, J.C., assumed the operation in 1962; they semi-retired in 2016.  She was a member of South Side Baptist Church. A gracious, southern lady, her soft-spoken demeanor attracted abundant relationships throughout her life.
