Honey was born on August 15, 1920, and raised among the bluebonnet covered hills of Llano, Texas. Daughter of F.M. and Angie Stewart Cassaday, she adored riding horses and working the ranch with her family. She married Marion "Skip" Wheeler on December 22, 1939. For many years, you would find them at Ridglea Presbyterian Church, actively ministering in the youth programs. Later Honey and Skip joined John Knox Presbyterian. Honey and Skip celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1989 dancing the Polka. Honey's life was about helping others through her daily activities and love of the Presbyterian Church. She was passionate and fiery. At John Knox, Honey continued to share her special gifts for congregational care. She was respected and loved as one of the Church "pillars", serving as an Ordained Elder and President of the Presbyterian Women. Honey delighted in making crafts from small, pretty objects which she carefully painted, sewed, and glued together. Honey and Skip had a special ministry for children. Her love of children extended into her neighborhood and kids often stopped by to laugh, play and chat. Visitors often left with something like a painted bookmark or an angel door ornament in their hand. She was like a second mother and grandmother to many. Later in life, Honey and Skip settled at Eagle Mountain Lake. There was a sign near their back door that let you know you were in, "Honey's Haven." She welcomed folks visiting from across state lines with a bourbon and coke, proudly saying, "Welcome to God's country." Granddaughter of one of the original Texas Rangers, Honey was a Texan who loved Texas, the Aggies, the Cowboys, and dancing the Polka with Skip. In her final days, when asked what she wanted she said, "I'm ready to go see Skip."
She was predeceased by two daughters, Sue Ann and Edelle, and her husband Skip.
She is survived by her son M. Cass Wheeler and his wife DeLisa of Dallas; granddaughter, Kristen Wheeler of Boulder, Colorado; grandson, Kevin Wheeler, his wife Marchelle, and their daughter Trinity Anne, of Keller.
