Obituary of Carol Lynn Wheeler

CAROL LYNN WHEELER Carol Lynn Wheeler, 56, went to Heaven to be with the LORD on October 2, 2013 in Lake Havasu City, AZ after a long battle with several different kinds of cancer. She was born October 2, 1957 in Kimball, NE to Patrick James & Melba Verna (Heidemann) Lacy. Carol moved with her family to Phoenix, AZ in 1970 and was the second graduating class at Trevor G. Browne High School. She loved a good challenge of different kinds of puzzles and would beat just about everyone she played in a game of pool or darts; she also enjoyed doing yard work then jumping in the pool for a nice swim. Carol is survived by her daughter Jennifer Springfield and her Life Partner Jeff Ryan; grandchildren Christopher Early, Rebekah Metcalf, James Springfield, Dustin Ryan and Jacob Ryan; sister Joann (Ron) Bissey; nephews Grant (Susanne) Bissey and their 2 children Mercedes and Steven and Bret (Nicole) Bissey and their son Nicholas; niece Nicole (Jay) Hoskins and their 2 children Taylor and Chelsea; uncle Paul Heidemann; aunt Edna Taylor; numerous cousins and her best friend of 43 years Penny Potter along with many other close friends. She is preceded in death by her parents; brother Maurice Lacy and son Brian Lacy. Carol will be missed tremendously by all who knew and loved her.
