Bessie (Bess) Musette Wheat was born March 26, 1921 in Rising Star, Texas to Joseph and Anna Belle Rogers. She had a sister, Josie and a brother, Floyd, both deceased as are her parents. She met and married Dale Wheat in Ranger, Texas and in July of 1941 they married in Brackenridge, Texas. They had a son, Dale Jr. and two daughters, Sandra and Jan, both daughters are deceased.
Dale (Sr.) was a career U.S. Army man and that required him and his family to move about quite often. Bess could gather her family and belongings within a day and be ready to move to Dale's next assignment. There were many times that the family could not go with Dale so Bess took over running the whole family. The one thing that Dale and Bess always did first when arriving at a new assignment, they would find a church home. The whole family would become active in this new church and then suffer the sadness of having to leave for a new assignment. This commitment to their church lives led them to become some of the founding and lifelong members of Brentwood Oaks Church of Christ.
Bess has been without her loving husband for over twenty years now, her youngest daughter for eight years and her oldest daughter for two years. After meeting her savior Jesus Christ, she surely had a wonderful reunion with her family.
