Everlene Wheeler

December 30, 1936 - July 9, 2020

Ms. Everlene Wheeler was born on December 30, 1936, to the late Edgar Wheeler and Mary Jane Brunson Wheeler in Lee County, South Carolina. She departed this earthly life and entered into eternal rest on Thursday, July 9th, 2020 at Prisma Health Tuomey in Sumter, South Carolina. Everlene, affectionately known as “Tina” attended the public schools of Sumter County. She was a life-long member of Mount Moriah United Methodist Church in Saint Charles, South Carolina, where she faithfully supported and continued to love her church. Ms. Everlene was a quiet and pleasant person, who always wore a smile. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading the Bible and watching television. Even though she did not like getting out and socializing; she had her way of staying in touch with her family. It was not strange for the phone to ring on any special day of the year and you will pick up your phone to hear her wishing you well and to say “you have a blessed day.” Her conversation would always be short and sweet. We, her family and friends will miss those special times spent together. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, David Wheeler, her paternal grandparents: York and Allie Carter Wheeler, maternal grandparents: Reese Brunson and Vera Brunson McCants; and a devoted aunt, Louise Lee. She leaves to cherish precious memories, devoted and loving cousins: Cora L. and Jerry Baker, Sumter, South Carolina, who were her caretakers for twenty-four years. Also, other relatives that assisted with her care; Latonya Baker McFadden, whom she regarded as a loving niece; Geraldine L. Scott, Essie L. Shaw and Odell Linton, all of Sumter, South Carolina; other cousins: Carolyn (Ralph) Cobbs of Charlotte, North Carolina; Venus Lee of Jersey City, New Jersey; a sister-in-law, Lucille Wheeler of Kingstree, South Carolina and a host of other relatives and friends.
