December 10, 2020, 50, Goldsboro

Ketrina Jo Wheeler, age 50, of Goldsboro died Thursday, December 10th at her residence.

She was born in Ohio to her parents William Howard Anderson and Norma Sue Anderson in May of 1970. Her father William (Bill) was in the Air Force which meant that Ketrina would live in different places every few years. She attended London Central High School where she was a Bobcat before moving to Fayetteville, North Carolina, and then settling with the family in Goldsboro. She graduated from Eastern Wayne High School and studied Criminal Justice at Wayne Community College.

She leaves behind her loving husband and partner of 30 years, Timothy; as well as a son, Dylan Wheeler of Goldsboro; two daughters, Miranda Fraley of Boaz Alabama, and Shyanne Wheeler of Goldsboro; two grandsons, Ayden and Mason; two granddaughters Liliana and Violet; two brothers John Anderson and partner Rebecca Cordell of Goldsboro, and Doug Anderson of Seville, Spain; two sisters, Donna Abramchuk of Porterville, California, and Dagny Harley of Portland, Oregon; several nieces, Ashley, Tiffany, Leah, Alexi, Briahna, Colleen, RayDonna, and Amy; nephews, Justin, Corey, Timothy, David; and several other extended family including Monica Kirby Absalao, Amanda Raines, and Will Stokes.

She will be missed by many. She was always ready to laugh, and to remind you that “life is short, be happy”. She loved her husband Timmy to the moon and back, and never missed lunch at high noon. She was a first mother, a second mother, an aunt, a best friend, sister, and always a shoulder and an ear.

She will be reunited with her parents Bill and Sue, her sister Melinda, and several other family and friends that have passed before her.
