Rochelle Wuellner Obituary
She was born to the late Philip and Roberta (Buffy) Reuter on May 2, 1954, in Williston, North Dakota. She graduated from Medicine Lake High School in 1972, and received her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in 1976 from the College of St. Catherine in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She married David Wuellner on July 2, 1977, in Medicine Lake, Montana, and they lived in St. Louis and Nashville before making Sedalia home in 1983.
Shelley worked as a registered nurse and as a part-time nursing instructor at State Fair Community College before becoming a full-time homemaker, a role she approached with unmatched joy, energy and dedication.
She was an active member of Sacred Heart Church and accepted leadership roles with Sacred Heart School Foundation, Sacred Heart Parish Council, P.E.O., Pettis County Health Center Board, Bothwell Regional Health Center Foundation Board, and Sorosis.
She is survived by her husband, Dr. David Wuellner, Sedalia, and four children: Luke Wuellner, San Diego; Mark (Maggie) Wuellner, Cincinnati; Abigail Wuellner, St. Louis; and Adam Wuellner, Chicago. She is preceded in death by her parents and one brother.
Mass of Christian Burial will be 10 a.m. Saturday, July 9, 2011 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, with the Rev. Father Mike Volkmer officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Sacred Heart School Foundation, in care of McLaughlin Funeral Chapel.

Shelley was one of the most beautiful and genuine persons I have ever known. Her life has had an impact on so many, and I am grateful that she has been a part of mine. She had such a keen sense of seeing the good in people. Nurturing and compassionate, she could see the potential in a person and encourage it to the forefront.
I am profoundly sorrowful to hear that I will never get to see or speak to her again, and even more mournful that her family will be deprived of her prescence. She has left behind a wonderful legacy. There is no doubt in my mind how proud she was of her family, or how bottomless the love in her heart was for them.
My deepest condolences to the Wuellner family. Shelley is cherished and will never be forgotten.

Mrs. Wuellner was like a second mother to me growing up while attending Sacred Hear School. I attended School with her son, Mark, and spent many days and nights in their home. I shall pray that the earth be blessed with another that could hold a candle to Mrs. Wuellner and what she did for so many. Karl Van Vickle.
