It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of L. Beryl Wheeler at Moncton City Hospital on May 26, 2024.
Born October 28, 1925 in Bosman, Manitoba, Beryl was the daughter of Leonard and Sarah (Lewis) Faulkner from Nova Scotia.
She was a loving wife and wonderful mother teaching us how to get along and to be kind to one another. Eventually the nest emptied and she decided to join the workforce herself. She was employed at J. E. Weldon, Canadian Wildlife Service and Atlantic Wholesalers. She met and made many good friends through all those years.
Beryl's hobbies included knitting, crocheting, quilting, ceramics and tole painting. Besides being a good athlete in her younger days, she enjoyed trying new sports like cross country skiing and curling that encouraged her to join the Sackville Curling Club.
Mum loved the outdoors and she and Dad spent many summers enjoying the cottage at Upper Cape, NB.
Beryl will be dearly missed by her children, Duane (Marg) Wheeler, Kitchener, ON; Sally Smith, Sackville, NB; Cheryl (late Rick) Anderson, Saskatoon, SK; Donna Johnson, Sackville, NB; Mary Jo (MJ) Wheeler, Vancouver, BC; Trish Desjardins, Sackville, NB; Daniel (Dale) Wheeler, Belleville, ON; her daughter-in-law Sandra Wheeler, Dartmouth, NS; as well as 16 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren; and 8 great-great grandchildren.
Beryl was the last surviving member of her immediate family. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, William (Bill) Wheeler in 2012; her son, Ronald Wheeler in 2024; by her brothers Lewis, Pursel, Cameron, LeRoy, and sisters Ruby Lane, and Mary Priest; a great granddaughter Tessa Wheeler, and a great-great granddaughter Arianna Sangha.
Arrangements are under the care and guidance of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville (506-364-1300). As per Beryl’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Visiting hours will be held from Noon until 2 pm on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, followed immediately by her funeral service at 2 pm. Burial will follow in the Sackville Cemetery.
