Kay Louise Wheaton went home to be with her Lord and Saviour on December 24, 2022, at age 70, with her husband, Garnet, and family by her side.

Kay was born to Judson S. and Nancy Wagner on August 18, 1952, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She grew up in Lancaster County and went on to receive her BSc. in Music Education. During that time, she met her husband, Garnet, then married and settled in Berwick, Nova Scotia in 1975.

She is survived by her husband, Garnet Wheaton, and sons, Seth Wheaton (Richmond, Va.); Jesse Wheaton and his wife, Beth Anne (Mount Joy, Pa.), and daughters, Margaret Hiltz and her husband Matthew (Manheim, Pa.); Cynthia Ramsey and her husband David (Ottawa, ON); thirteen grandchildren; her mother, Nancy Wagner; brothers, Dennis Wagner and his wife, Peggy, Bryan Wagner and his wife Sandy, and sister, Brenda Rambo, all of Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Loving wife, mother and grandmother, Kay enjoyed making life’s celebrations special for those around her by entertaining, celebrating, and supporting others. Anyone who met Kay will always remember her warm and friendly smile. Kay’s unwavering faith in her Heavenly Father is the foundation upon which she built her life. Kay is leaving an eternal legacy of faith through her commitment to the Gospel, evident in her leading role in establishing ShareWord Global’s ministry which seeks to reach every family with the Gospel in Nicaragua and Cuba.

Kay was also the creative force behind Wheaton’s (Gift, Home Décor and Furniture stores). It was her appreciation of beautiful things, and her ability to select and merchandise that made the business successful and the stores an enjoyable experience for all.

The family wishes to send a special thank you to the wonderful team at Palliative Care and VON for their outstanding and compassionate care in recent months as she courageously faced cancer.
