Born in Copenhagen, Denmark on August 23, 1945, she was a loving Wife, Mom, Mormor and Farmor. She was best known for her positivity, love, endless energy and sense of style.
Mom came to New York at the young age of 20 to pursue her journey in the furniture and interior design industry. She loved interiors and fashion which showed in her sense of style. She loved working out, hiking, traveling, shopping and being with her family both here and in Denmark. She loved life. Everyone who came in contact with her loved her vibrant positive energy. Mom’s beauty radiated from the inside out.
She is survived by her husband, John Wheeler, son Andrew Dick, daughter Stephanie Whitrock, son-in-law Eric Whitrock, daughter-in-law Vanessa Jimenez and grand children Sydney, Hunter and Liam.
We will be celebrating Mom’s life with a small family service.
