Read More	Alma Jean (Enloe) Wheeler of Tolland, CT went home to her Heavenly Father on March 10, 2014 at the age of 89. She was deeply loved and will be sorely missed by her devoted husband of 69 years, Murray, their children and many other family and friends. She was the daughter of Denver J. and Dona Enloe and was born in 1924 at home on their farm in Enon, Missouri. She was the second of five children. Jean enjoyed gardening and kept her family supplied with jellies, jams and her special green tomato relish as long as her health allowed. After graduating from Russellville High School in 1941 Jean completed secretarial school in Sedalia and went to work in Kansas City. In 1943 she met the love of her life, Murray O. Wheeler, at the Calvary Baptist Church. The U.S. Army had sent him to KC from his native Maine to attend the Missouri Aviation Institute. They were married in that church on August 12, 1944 just before Murray was sent overseas. While he was away their first son, Murray Kent, was born in California. After the War, the young family moved to Connecticut so Murray could return to work at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. Their daughter, Patricia Ann, and a second son, Howard J. were born there before Murray was sent first to Sidney, New York, then, in 1953, to Hamilton, Ohio where their third son, Paul D, was born. After three years in Joplin, the family was sent back to Connecticut in 1965. They also spent three years in Norway on assignment for P & W A. While there Jean studied Norwegian and learned rosemaling, a traditional Norwegian art form. Murray and Jean were always active in the local Baptist church and were founding members in new churches started in Ohio and CT. Jean often played the piano for church services while Murray led the singing. She had learned to play by ear but later in life took lessons so she could read music. Jean and Murray also loved to travel. Forty eight states and all the National Parks in the Continental U.S. had been visited by 1965 by car using nothing but two-week vacations. Alaska, Hawaii and most of Europe were added later. Jean went to work at the Savings Bank of Tolland, CT in 1966 and worked there until she retired. She enjoyed genealogical research into both her and Murray’s families, resulting in six published books about the various family branches and membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution. She especially enjoyed returning to Russellville for the annual Enloe reunion and edited the Enloe Newsletter for several years. Jean is predeceased by her parents and three siblings: Etheleen (Benjamin) Armstrong of Waynesville, Dorothy (Vernon) Messerli of McGirk and Lester (Maudie) Enloe of Russellville. She is survived by her loving husband, her four children plus spouses, nine grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, her brother Roger (Sue) Enloe of Eldon and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins including one special niece Carol Ratcliff of California. The family would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Fox Hill Center in Rockville for their wonderful, loving care of Jean in her final days.
