James Bruce Wheeler

TERRE HAUTE — James Bruce Wheeler, 71, of Nolensville, Tenn., lost his battle with lung cancer Wednesday, May 2, 2012, at Union Hospital. He was born Sept. 10, 1940, in Terre Haute, to Bernard H. and Edith M. Carter Wheeler. A long-time employee of Caffco International, a floral-products company based in Montgomery, Ala., Bruce was dedicated to providing quality design, service and selection to wholesalers and retailers. He then branched out on his own and founded Wheeler Marketing. After his retirement, he enjoyed splitting time between the Philippines and his family in Tennessee and Indiana.

Bruce had two daughters: one with his first wife, Judith Spence Weathers; and another with his second wife, Nancy Rucker Wheeler.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and one sister, Sally Wheeler Lovellette.

Survivors include his two daughters, Terri Wheeler (and Doug) Roberts of Carlisle, and Jamie Wheeler (and Larry) Albers of Nolensville; one brother, Jack Wheeler of Venice, Fla.; and five granddaughters, Kelsey Roberts (and Evan) Buckley of Brownsburg, Karissa Roberts (and Bryce) Huff of Sullivan, Alexis Albers, Sophia Albers, and Katelyn Albers, all of Nolensville.

All friends and relatives are invited to a "Celebration of Life" service at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 19, 2012, at the home of Terri and Doug Roberts. Pastor Eddie Hammond will officiate. A luncheon and open house will immediately follow the service. Private interment in the Carlisle Odd Fellows Cemetery will take place at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, 106 Towerview Court, Cary, NC 27513. Go to www.jimmyv.org or call 1-800-4jimmyv for more information about the charity.

His daughters would like to send out a special thank-you to the Air Med International staff and flight crew, Christina Carter and Aviation One Medical Transport Service, Dr. Steven McDonald, and Union Hospital.
