Kathy Arlene Wheeler, loving wife and mother of two, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 28, 2021. Kathy was born on March 9, 1960 in Bismarck, ND to Gary and Evona Ward. She graduated from Century High School in 1978 and worked for the state of North Dakota for over 40 years. On June 12, 1980, she married her best friend, Jim Wheeler. Together they raised two sons, Joshua and Gabriel. Kathy had a passion for food. She enjoyed learning about and trying new foods, cooking, sharing food with others and shopping for food. Most would say she made the best knoephla soup around. More than food, she found immense joy in loving her grandchildren. She cherished her time with them and always had a treat or snack to share. Most of all, she loved her husband, her best friend. They were nearly inseparable and loved to cook and travel.
