Sharan "Ann"

Stewart Wheeler

Sharan “Ann” Stewart Wheeler, age 70, of Cleveland, passed away peacefully on Friday October 30, 2026 at her home.

Born July 18, 1956, she was the daughter of the late Randolph Stewart and Burlia Mae Williams Stewart.

Ann was a kind and caring soul with a heart bigger than words could describe. She was affectionately known by so many as “Nanna” or “Mom,” titles that reflected the love, warmth, and compassion she shared with everyone around her. Her home was a place of love, and her kitchen was often the heart of it all. She was especially known for making the best fried chicken, and cooking was one of the many ways she showed her love for family and friends. In her quieter moments, Ann enjoyed coloring and reading. She was of the Pentecostal faith, and her gentle spirit and loving heart will be remembered by all who knew her.

In addition to her parents, Ann was preceded in death by her loving husband, Larry Miles Wheeler; sisters, Sylvia, Jenny, and Lyvia; and brothers, Jim and Andy.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her sons, Steven Boyd, Dalton Wheeler, and Donald Tange; daughters, Teresa Wheeler, Cheyanne Wheeler, and Cherokee Wheeler; nine grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and numerous other family members and friends who will forever hold her close in their hearts.

Ann's love was felt in the meals she prepared, the kindness she showed, and the countless lives she touched. Though she will be deeply missed, the love she gave and the memories she created will live on through the family she cherished. To those who knew her, she will always be Nanna, Mom, and a very special part of their lives.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday November 14, 2026, from the Chapel of McGahee-Griffin & McEntire Funeral Home.

An online guest registry is available for the family at www.mcgaheegriffinandmcentire.com.
