Cheri Wheeler Obituary
She was born September 20, 1960 in St. Joseph to Leroy and Carol (Kirby) Clark. With her father in the Air Force, the family lived in many countries across the world while Cheri was growing up, including France, Germany, Spain and Mexico.
After graduating from high school, Cheri lived in Virginia for a while before returning to St. Joseph. She was a chef at Mosaic Life Care, then was a mail handler for the U.S. Postal Service before becoming kitchen manager for Harrah's Casino in Kansas City, Missouri.
Cheri loved to cook for family, and everybody was extended family to her. Her macaroni and cheese, lamb, and fried catfish were legendary.
She loved the Lord and lived her faith as a longtime member of Holsey Chapel ICM.
In her later years, she enjoyed playing games on her phone and always cherished time with her family.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Wheeler; her longtime partner, Steven Houston; her parents; and son, Kristopher Clark.
Survivors include daughter, Janaé Banks (Bryan Rucker); grandson, Jayden Banks; cousin who was like a sister, Minister Linda Bundy (Donald); special cousin who was raised as a daughter, Erica Davis; and beloved dog, Coco Banks.
Farewell Services 2:00 P.M. Saturday, November 8, Holsey Chapel ICM. The family requests contributions to Cheri's Funeral Fund. To donate online or sign the online guestbook, please visit Cheri's Tribute Page at www.meierhoffer.com.
