Obituary of Janet Lynn Wheeler

Janet Lynn Wheeler (Schreiber), 67, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and friend passed away peacefully at her home on July 16, 2021 in Chico California. Janet was born on August 15, 1953 in Costa Mesa, California to Ralph & Sue Schreiber. She was the second child- older brother Mark, and younger sister Peggy. She grew up in Southern California graduating from Costa Mesa High in 1971.  She spent the following summer working at a restaurant saving all of her pay to fund an unforgettable trip to South America with her older brother. This was a highlight in her life and she loved to share how special that trip was to her. She attended Orange Coast College before transferring to Chico State where she lived with her sister Peggy. She graduated in 1977 earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Her parents and brother eventually moved up to be closer to Janet & Peggy. She spent the remainder of her life in Northern California. She married and had three children. The Baháʼi Faith was very important to her and the Baháʼí community offered her a lot of support in her life. She worked in behavioral health and eventually moved to Magalia, California where she lived until the Campfire took her home in 2018. She enjoyed gardening, working on house projects, reading, and spending time in the sun. The last years of her life were spent back in Chico with her two dogs, family and friends. Janet was survived by her three children- Ben Wheeler, Emily Wheeler-Saul (Matthew Saul), and Jared Wheeler. Her sister Peggy Jones (Fred Jones) and her granddaughter Lila Wheeler.
