It is with great sadness we report the death of Britten Ling Wheeler. Britten passed peacefully from this life to the next on June 25th 2075 in Salt Lake City, Utah next to her husband. Both died of natural causes due to age.
Britten was born on May 9th, 1982 as a mother’s day present to Ron and Debbie Nelson in Salt Lake City, Utah.
She attended Welby Elementary School, Copper Hills High School and graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors of Science degree.
She married Daniel Ryan Wheeler from Tucson, Arizona on December 16, 2000 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Britten is survived by her wonderful children. She is also survived by several grandchildren and great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.
Britten was active in the LDS Church; she served for the church in many callings throughout her life. With each calling she would serve with love and enthusiasm. Britten had a veracious passion for life. Her infectious personality touched everyone she met. She gathered many lifelong friends along her way. God gave Britten many talents, all in which she shared with those she met. Some of her talents included her ability to learn and figure problems out. She was able to learn new skills easily and efficiently. Britten was creative and her ability to see what could be and not what is was something she used. Not only in material things, but in people as well. Britten had the ability to listen to others and council them in times of need. She was a rock for many friends that came to her for guidance. But throughout her life and despite all the many talents she had, her lifelong goal was to be a mother. Britten always felt that this was her most important calling in life.
“The noblest calling in the world is motherhood. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all the arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece, or who can write a book that will influence millions, deserves the admiration and plaudits of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters, whose immortal souls will exert an influence throughout the ages long after paintings shall have faded, and books and statues shall have decayed or have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God.” ~ Pathways to Happiness, Llewelyn R. McKay
Britten’s life was full of love and laughter, her spirit lives on in her children and her legacy will live on in all those that knew her.
Her services will be held on…..
