Icerlene Jones-Wiley

Icerlene Jones-Wiley is a wife, mother and grandmother, an ordained minister, author, retired government employee, handcrafted jewelry designer, and an MS Warrior who has been fighting Multiple Sclerosis for over 50 years.

Diagnosed in 1993, she has courageously navigated living with the MonSter, refusing to allow the disease to strip away her joy or determination. Now living life from a wheelchair, she draws strength from her faith, family, creativity, and seeks to inspire others by sharing her story.

Icerlene’s journey is a testament to tenacity, as she shares her experiences of love, loss, and hope in her book Unyielding Spirit: Navigating Life with Multiple Sclerosis.

She remains fiercely determined in her pursuit of the strongest version of she can be, inspiring others to recognize that they, too, must wage their own battles—seizing strength when needed and claiming victory through their Unyielding Spirit. Her journey is a testament that their stories, like hers, are far from over.
