Wendy K. Wheatley, 63

July 06, 2020

Wendy K. Wheatley, 63, of Reinholds, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 6, 2020, at her home surrounded by her family. Born in West Reading, she was the daughter of the late Paul and Mildred (Hill) Seibert. Wendy was the beloved wife of Thomas J. Wheatley, and they celebrated 28 years of marriage last September.

Wendy was raised in Reading, graduating from Reading High School. She was employed as a tax preparer for the PA Dept. of Revenue, and later as a sales representative for a bedding manufacturer from 1990 to 2008. She loved working in her garden, planting vegetables and flowers, and watching the wild birds at her many feeders. Wendy was a loving, kind soul who was always ready for adventure with her husband Tom. Her quick-witted humor and honesty was a joy to all who knew her. She was inspirational, showing great courage and tenacity in the face of adversity, but always remaining pleasant and showing kindness to all. Wendy will be profoundly missed by her family, friends and her beloved dog and cats.

In addition to her husband, Wendy is survived by sons, Keith Ronan and his wife Heather of Reamstown, Thomas J. P Wheatley of Ephrata, and Erik Wheatley of Reinholds. Also surviving is a grandson, Finnegan Ronan; a brother, David Seibert of Adamstown; sisters June Lengle and her husband Bill of Ephrata, and Jean Bierman and her husband Bob of Reading; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister, Elaine Ribble.

A Celebration of Life and Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, July 12, 2020, at 3:00 PM at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home and Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA, 17543, where the family will begin receiving guests at 2:00 PM.

To Tom, Keith, Tom Jr and Erik.   So very sorry for the loss of Wendy!  She was one if a kind and such a powerhouse of a woman in that tiny frame of hers!  Always quick with an answer and smart as a whip!!  She was a joy to be around and we had lots of interaction years ago being her dental hygienist and friend and customer for bedding.   I haven’t seen her or all of you for years but I know how much she adored her men in her life!  Glad to had a grandson too to pass more love to!    I wish you all the best memories to help take you through this very difficult time!  I had lots of fun taking pictures at your wedding …can’t believe it’s been 28 years almost!!  Hugs to you all for such sad loss of a wonderful lady who has left us too soon.     RIP lovely Wendy.. you will not be forgotten!!
