Ann Lucille Wheeler

Ann "Lucille" Wheeler Sun Cove, WA Ann "Lucille" Wheeler was born August 19, 1927, just outside of Clinton, MN, and passed away on June 2, 2016 in Wenatchee, WA. She had lived life to the fullest in her nearly 89 years, and was adored by so many. Lucille was the second oldest in a family of eight children and grew up in rural Minnesota. She loved to tell stories about the hard winters, her siblings, and even about finally getting water and electricity on the farm. Lucille started dating her husband and best friend, Harold Wheeler, after he drove her home from a town dance in 1947. They married on June 6, 1948. Together, they had two children, Walter and Patricia, who were raised on the farm before the family moved out to Seattle, WA in 1957. Working for the phone company for more than 25 years, Lucille was respected by all and was always incredibly hardworking, no matter what she did. In the late 60's, they found a great spot to camp along the Columbia River with Harold's sister, Jean, her husband Emmett, and a few close friends. This sunny locale would become known as Lake Entiat Estates, and led to many years of memories for the entire family and future generations as "Sun Cove" grew. Harold and Lucille traveled the country and beyond during their retired years, visiting nearly every state in the union, and taking Wally and Patsy's kids fishing with them many summers at the Potholes. They got together for dinner with their closest friends nearly every week and referred to their group as the "Wednesday nighters." Lucille was known by most as "Grandma," and she truly was to so many people. Her lucky grandkids: Bryan, Dahnine, Shaune, Michelle and Eric; however, were the light of her life, and their total of eight children made her an incredibly proud great-grandma, eager to tell stories about their kids' latest antics and accomplishments. Grandma loved Mariner's baseball, crocheting, reading, quilting, baking, and had been a member of Edmonds Lutheran Church for more than 50 years. She spent her final years living full time at Sun Cove with son, Wally and his wife, Lynn, with her daughter, Trish and husband, Jon who lived across the street. A Celebration of her Life will be held on Tues, June 14, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at Edmonds Lutheran Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Annie's Kitchen at Edmonds Lutheran Church or to the Douglas County Fire Department District 4. Arrangements assisted by Telford's Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatche, WA.
