Wyley was my cousin and my sister Loreata and I grew up with Wyley in Pauls Valley, OK.  We have continued to keep in touch with Wyley and Mildred and their family even though Wyley left PV and has lived many places since he left.  It does not seem real that Wyley is gone but he is in a better place now.  I know the children will take  care of Mildred just as Wyley did.  My prayers and thoughts are with Mildred and the children.  I wish I could have come to Lubbock with Loreata, Susie and Brenda but my health would not let me.  Mildred I hope to see you someday in the near future.
 

Love, Juanita

Wyley was a quietly great man.  Really enjoyed living next door when we were both teaching at ENMU, In Portales, NM.   Don't know that Leticia and I can attend the Memorial services because  of prior travel commitments, but we will try.  I know that our five children (who grew up with the five Mauldin kids) join Leticia and me  in expressing our condolences, to Mildred and the children.  While death often visits families with great  sadness, there are also occasions when death comes as a blessing when it spares  and individual and family from  prolonged suffering.  May we trust in the wisdom of Almighty God where matters of life ---  and death ---  are concerned.  Our fond and respectful  regards to the family, and friends near and far, who survive Wyley's passing.  Robert and Leticia  Goodrich, Amarillo, TX.

Wylie and I (as NMAER Past President) became friends and confidants post retirement. I was vastly enriched by having him intersect my life. His "no nonsense" and practical approach to working on complicated retiree and education issues is greatly appreciated and will be severely missed.

Mildred and Family - how Wylie loved all of you and often spoke proudly of his children and grandchildren!  Loretta (my wife) and I will hold you up in prayer during this trying time. God bless all of you.

Wyley was a mentor and friend. I was in college when I met him and Mildred in Felt, Oklahoma. He always had the best advice  because he had done almost everything in his lifetime.  There are no others like him. As a young teacher, he was such a great mentor and believed in me!  I learned so much from him and enjoyed working with him. I will always consider him my life long friend. Love to the family...I know you feel a great loss. I'm so sad. 😢

Have some very fond memories of Wylie when he and Mildred and kids would come to Kenton and stay in the big rock house and working with of them at Felt Schools. He was a kind man with a heart of gold, he will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his children. May God give your peace and comfort.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Wylie was a great friend and neighbor.  Worked with him at the Felt School in Felt Oklahoma.  Mildred and him always planned something fun during the years they were here. They are memories I will never forget. The ride on the narrow gage train was a highlight. He was a special man that will greatly be missed. Our prayers for Mildred and family.
