Her love for her brother and sister meant everything to her, and she always enjoyed their heartfelt conversations; she is also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. She delighted in hearing about new family members and did her best to stay connected with everyone.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Leoma Bennett Wheelis Sr. and Margaret Louise Wheelis, as well as her brothers, Hugh Bennett Wheelis and Isaac Jacob Wheelis and her nephew Alton Roy Buie. She adored her family and often shared treasured stories, finding comfort in those memories after their passing.

Throughout her life, she achieved many things, but her greatest treasures were her relationships with family and friends. She poured her love generously and openly to all who knew her. Her kind spirit and enduring love will be deeply missed but will forever remain in our hearts.
