Deanna Wheeler, a cherished daughter, sister, and beacon of joy, was born and sadly passed away on November 22, 2025, in her hometown of South Bend, Indiana. Her fleeting time left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who had the privilege of anticipating her arrival. Deanna's family, enveloped in the love they hold for her.

Born to Terence and Adanakai Wheeler Sr., Deanna was the youngest of a vibrant and loving family. She was a sister to Amariay, Teren, and Kylee Wheeler, and to her brothers, Terence Wheeler, Terence Wheeler Jr., Deshawn Wheeler, and King Wheeler. Each sibling had dreamt of the days they would spend with Deanna, imagining the laughter and the memories they would create. In her, they saw the promise of new beginnings and the continuation of a family bond that was unbreakable.

Deanna's arrival was eagerly awaited, and her presence was a gift that her family will forever hold dear. Her parents, Terence and Adanakai, envisioned a life for Deanna filled with the same love, strength, and tradition that they had instilled in their home. Deanna, in her essence, was a reflection of her family's love and the hopes they carried for the future.

Deanna's siblings, each unique in their own right, shared a common love and excitement for their youngest sister. They had plans to guide her, protect her, and share with her the joys of life.

Where her story began and gently paused, Deanna Wheeler will forever be remembered as a beloved daughter, a treasured sister, and an eternal symbol of what could have been. Her spirit, though unseen, will always be felt, guiding her family forward with the light of her meaningful existence
