IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Mickey
Wheeler
November 20, 1945 – January 23, 2023
Michelle (Mickey) Diane Wheeler, age 77, of Hermitage passed away Sunday, January 1, 2023. She was born November 20, 1945 in Jacksonville, Florida. Mickey is preceded in death by her parents James and Delores Kennedy; her son Kenny Wheeler; and her brother Jim Kennedy. Survivors include her brother Mark Kennedy, his wife Debbie Kennedy; 6 Grand-children, Jeremy, Eli, Desi, Jesse, Caleb, and Jordan; and 3 Great-Grandchildren.
Mickey had a companion Joch Pithie of 14 year's. Mickey went to cosmetology school of beauty in Des Moines, Ia. She was a beautician for 45 years. She also had Wheeler's Cabin Resort in Spirit Lake, Ia. She enjoyed interacting with her customers and anyone she met. Mickey and Joch met playing cribbage on the internet. After awhile they met in Panama City, Florida. Joch landed in Detroit in sporting shorts and a tee shirt to 6" of snow while his luggage was being put on the next connecting flight without him. Mickey loved sitting on the porch by her fire pit and burning the wood as fast as Joch could cut it. Her biggest highlight was Thanksgiving. She loved telling Joch how to cook the turkey even after 40 years of Joch being a Chef.
Mick also had a passion for fishing. When Mickey and Joch went fishing together she always told him off because she had to put the worm on his hook. Sure hope there's a card school there. She loves playing cards and she hates to lose.
Mick will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her. A bright star will twinkle as she dances with her father. Mick, as Kenny always said may you sleep with angels.
No services are planned.
Cremation was under the direction of Klingner-Cope Family Funeral Home at Rivermonte, Springfield.
