Mary Ruth Hazelip Wileman was born on October 4, 1935 in South Bend, Indiana, the 5th of 7 children born to the late Homer S, Hazelip and the late Reathy Frazier Hazelip. She would attend school in Mishawaka, Indiana, graduating from Mishawaka High School.
Shortly after high school, on June 27, 1953, she would marry Walter Wileman. For the next sixty-six years, she would be his constant companion, help-mate and supporter. His work with The Associate Corporation of North America would require their constant transfer and moving.

During her entire time in the Dallas area, she was a pillar for her church, The Heartland Church in Carrollton. (Previously Christ Temple in Irving) The Church would benefit from her loyalty, support and leadership.
She and Walt enjoyed many trips and vacations. She was an avid sports fan and was herself very athletic. She was a golfer, bowler, tennis player and enjoyed snow skiing. She and Walt were residents of Watermere in Southlake for the previous twelve years.
