WHEELER, PATSY "PAT," 72, left this world on March 5, 2011, after a long battle with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma since being diagnosed in 2004.
She was born January 23, 1939 in Irvington, KY to the late Wilbur "Bill" and Margaret Brashear Winn. Always the prankster and tomboy, yet ever the lady, she was quiet in her demeanor. Pat grew up and chose nursing for a career, attending Kentucky Baptist Hospital. She worked in obstetrics and geriatric medicine during her life, but primarily in psychiatric nursing. She had a long and wonderful career.
In addition to her work as a nurse, Pat and her husband of 50 years, Johnnie J. Wheeler; raised three children, Felicia Wheeler, John Wheeler and Joseph Wheeler. She was their rock and a wonderful mother and companion.
Pat is survived by her husband and children, Felicia and Joseph; as well as her siblings, Peggy Banks, Suzanne Roberts, Grayanne Jackson and Bennie Winn. In addition, Pat leaves two grandchildren who loved her very much, Grace and Ruby.
Visitation for Pat will be Thursday, March 10, 2011 from 4-8 p.m. at Highlands Family-Owned Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road. Her service will be at 10 a.m. Friday, March 11, 20111 at Highlands.
