Shes still feeding me, between the 12,000 points that she had at Chick Filet and the $50 gift cards for Corner Bakey.  Had a picknick to spend some quiet time reflecting on the glory she brought to my life with our children.  I am so proud to have been chosen by her, and so proud and love Alyssa and Madison so much as they make their ways into the world.

Honoring the Love of my Life and still trying to give her all that she ever wanted, 6 months after her assentation to be with Jesus, Our Father.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of my friend Donna. I worked with Donna at Aerospace around 2000 until I transferred to a different group - around 2008 or 2009. Donna and I talked about everything and became great friends at work. She made me laugh so hard and she was smart as a whip.  She had a wonderful personality and I so enjoyed being friends with her. She always talked about her daughters / family and I knew she was a wonderful mom. My son was little and we shared many fun stories about our kids. We laughed a lot!  I will miss my friend and even though I didn’t see her for many years, when I see her smile in the photos, it all comes back to me how special she was.  — Laura Taul

Have a blessed Good Friday and Easter.  To Everyone that shared in honoring Donna at her services and by sharing cards, flowers etc..
My heart is full of gratitude. Many of you took time out of you busy day, some traveling great distances. Bless you and thank you. 

The Wheelock Family

Donna, you were always a great friend, one of the MOPS crew. I remember you for your efficiency, and always knowing how to get the job done. You were a great mom and leader. My family was blessed when you opened your home for Labor Day parties and they got to swim in your awesome pool. You always poured out the kind of love that showed that you belong to Jesus. While we grieve your loss, I know heaven is blessed to have such an amazing woman. Sending heartfelt love and sympathy to Alyssa, Madison, and Kevin.

Love, Melodee (Harman) Smith

Donna Although our life paths often separated us from seeing each other in these last years  I will always have good memories of you of your care and warmth every time we did meet it was like seeing an old friend as if nothing except life circumstances changed but the friendship remained true and the same in heart and in your eyes I could always tell this was true  You were pretty straightforward and honest and we shared a lot of laughs together for it …
 Thinking of those  days when we did see each other more often were filled with so much fun talking about life dreams and broken ones too but always looking ahead …I pray you know now how much your loved and missed and what a difference you made just being your true self Your always going to be a good memory  in my heart and soul may you find peace now in true Gd and his answers to questions you have always had … One last warm embrace for now until Gds will that we should all meet again one day past the mysteries of all that is life In Christ Jesus I pray for your sweet blessed transition in that caring loving  light breeze we once spoke about as I recall… eternal breeze of life

It’s hard to pick just one favorite memory of Donna because every moment with her carried the same themes of: love, acceptance, and humor. I’ve known the Wheelocks since middle school when Alyssa and I first became friends, and from the very beginning, Donna welcomed me like family. She put up with me coming over almost every day, always greeting me and anyone else welcomed over, with a smile and love.  

Over time, I started tagging along on what I liked to call our “mini adventures,” whether it was a 2 hour drive just to get some chicken, a trip to Knott’s Berry Farm, or even just visiting a family member. Somewhere along the way, she became like an aunt to me.  
One of the things I admired most about Donna was her openness to learning about our interests and making them her own. I remember when Alyssa first introduced her to K-pop she didn’t just listen; she took the time to learn our favorite songs and eventually found her own love for it. That kind of enthusiasm and support was such a beautiful thing to see.  

I also deeply admired her unwavering faith. Her connection with God was something so strong, it sometimes left me wondering how she carried so much strength. Even now, it remains a mystery to me.  But what I do know is that Donna was one of the most admirable, loving, and genuinely funny people I’ve ever had the joy of knowing. I’m so grateful to have been a small piece of her adventure and let me be part of her crew (That was a one piece reference).

I first met Donna at LaReina High School when I presented her daughter Alyssa with my daughter Michelle’s Memorial Scholarship. I was very impressed with Donna and especially the way she was raising her beautiful daughters. My heart goes out to them and their father at this most difficult time.  May the beautiful memories they have of Donna help to assuage their pain.

June 2010....traveling with Donna was always an adventure that I truly enjoyed. I miss you Donna!

I wish I had a picture to share, but all I have is our memories together. And those are the best. My heart aches for you all. I’m sure you will miss her. May her memory be eternal. I’ll definitely be seeing her again one day, Lord willing. Your wife/mother/daughter/sister was truly a bright beacon of light which is exactly what we are called to be. She was really good at it in the most natural way. I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile. She always had the best attitude even if there was something disappointing, she would turn it around with a grand expression. Anyhow what a beautiful life she lived and what an amazing example she was to me and many others. A true reflection of Christ.  Even despite the distance and long periods of time in between visits, Donna would always just pour love over me. And she had the thickest hair I think ever!  Donna I love you and miss you. Until we meet again in our new resurrected bodies, rest up my friend in paradise.

I was lucky enough to have Donna and her family in my life for the last 10 years.  I don't know if the full impact of her being gone has hit me yet.  We had so much in common and she meant so much to me.   I admired her strength, resilience, beauty and so much more.  Her legacy lives on in her girls, who I love dearly.  I will miss you Donna, and will see you again someday.  For now, I carry you in my heart and I'm comforted in the knowledge that you are in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ, out of pain, dancing in Heaven with Kanika to K-pop.

I was just thinking of Donna this last weekend while attending theatre in Thousand Oaks. I worked with Donna at The Aerospace Corporation. Her office was next to mine; she shared space with Lornett and Melodie, and was part of the glue that kept our department together. At some point, she went off to other parts of Aerospace (and I think left -- with the commute, I understand), but I would think of her whenever we were out in Thousand Oaks. May her memory be a blessing for her family, children, and friends. Remember only the good.

So happy we were able to spend time with Donna during Cisco. Live in 2016.  Fun times were had at the Bellagio and Maroon 5 Concert.  

Donna was one of a kind, she will be missed.

Maddie,

I was so sorry to hear about your mom.  We loved her so much at HCS, and she loved you so much!  Most of my memories of her include talking about you.  I pray that you feel Jesus comforting presence with you now and always.

We will miss you Donna,  you were such a huge ray of sunshine! ☀️ with love Dylan and Paula Lee

Wheelocks, I am so deeply sorry for this loss of yours. Mrs. Wheelock is such a kind soul and everyone who ever met her is certainly privileged by knowing her. She was always interested in other souls and simply her words and presence was always calming and supportive. She has impacted every person and I have experienced this myself.

I have seen these wonderful traits in more than just her. They live just as strong as in Ms Donna as they are Alyssa and Madison. She lives on in her daughters. As they move through this life, the traits will become stronger and closer. 

Alyssa and Madison, I know it seems as though you must continue without her, but she is closer to you both now than anyone else. She lives in you, and I know you will carry her out in your life and what you both do. It’s beautiful. She was never defeated and never will be. Her love and kindness live on, not only in you both but also in all the lives she touched, including Mr. Wheelock’s. She will be there, in every happy moment, sad moment, milestone, achievement, she is here, she will be there, and she always will be ❤️❤️‍🩹

Love you my best friend. Thanks for the wonderful memories. I will miss you terribly.

This was my first KCon and big trip with the family. And we were thrilled that for the concert part I managed to grab a suite! The anxiety from the long queue was worth this moment in gold. Best part was the ice machine in the room so Donna could be comfortable the whole concert! I finally had a drinking partner at a Kpop event. Best moment ever.
