Roxann Wheeler

Mrs.Roxann Wheeler, 77, of Mahomet, IL, peacefully followed her husband, John R. Wheeler, 69, and parents Everett Leroy, 67, and Phyllis M. Kerwood, 60, in death at Carle Foundation Hospital in Champaign Urbana August 30, 2025, at 9:28am, in the company of her youngest daughter, Dora G. Wheeler. Her cremation is being handled by Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation of Mahomet, IL. On behalf of Roxann's wishes, there will be no services.

Roxann was a devout Christian that united people of all ages and circumstance with unmatched kindness. She worked as a CNA and was a special needs educator. Roxann was a woman that never held back her infectious laughter and could always be found outside in a chair-admiring a thunderous down pour, or gleefully singing a lullaby to her special orange cat. Even in her final days, she never lost her whimsy or compassion, and still enjoyed the rain.

Roxann was preceded in death by four beloved step children, grandson Franklin E. Thompson, 20, and best friend Jacqueline Gaye Smith, 73.

She is survived by her three biological children Dora G. Wheeler, Mylia Garcia, and Curtis Thompson. Surviving grandchildren are Angela J. Ramirez, Miles Van Fossan, Krystle D. Contreres, Kayla R. Hironimus-Correale, Cameron S. Hironimus, and Hannah Martin, and more than 75 great and great-great grandchildren.
