Brandy M. Wheeler

Brandy Marie Wheeler is an irreplaceable mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend. Brandy always put others first, and would do anything she could to help someone in need. Brandy’s interests include Dr. Who, Magic the Gathering, reading novels, playing darts, shooting pool, Nightmare Before Christmas, metal core and early 2000’s hip-hop and rap music, B-list movies such as Repo! The Genetic Opera and Thirteen Ghosts, TV shows such as Supernatural, The Why Files, and True Blood.

Brandy was beyond smart, graduating from Harlem High School Honor’s classes in 2009 with an above 4.0 GPA. After high school, Brandy’s career took her to Menard’s where she ended up becoming a Front End Manager and meeting her soul mate who immediately asked her to be his companion. After Brandy’s time at Menard's she took on a role as an Auto Claims Adjuster at Assurant where she had a very successful career.

Brandy married her soul mate, Ken Wheeler, on October 31, 2022. Brandy was born March 4, 1991 in Madison, WI. Tragically, Brandy was taken away from us January 25, 2025 while in route to her daughter’s basketball game. Brandy leaves behind her daughter, Athena; her husband, Ken Wheeler; her mother, Victoria Norris; her father, Gary (Tammie) Norris; her siblings, Heather Zarembski and Logan (Hannah) Norris; her nephews, Nolan, Jayden and Asher; and many other special family members and friends. She joins her grandfather, Fredrick Norris; her grandmothers, Wanda Garner, Carol Peterson and Edith Norris, Mr. Two Sticks (Ken’s teddy) and her dog, Tank, in the next life. Anyone who knows Brandy knows who Mr. Teddy is.

Thank you to the first responders, good Samaritans and and OSF St. Anthony’s medical staff.

Brandy’s wishes were to be laid to rest with her most prized possession, Mr. Teddy. That request was successfully fulfilled by her loving husband.
