My prayers go out to all Judy’s family. I’m so sad to hear of your loss. There were three Judys’ growing up in Hughes Springs in the class set to graduate in 1971. I am one of the three—Judi Haley. Judy was always a sweet, fun loving friend as we grew up, and I have fond memories of her. I know her passing is a great loss to many. 🙏❤️

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Judy Burleson Wheeler, age 72, of Greenville Texas. She left us peacefully on May 12, 2025, and was born on September 13, 1952, in Monroe, Louisiana, and lived a life that touched the hearts of all who knew her. Judy was a beloved mother, grandmother, stepmother, sister, and friend whose warmth, compassion, and strength will be remembered always.
Judy was preceded in death by her parents J.A. and Neva Burleson, her sister Janeva Burleson Robertson, and her brother, Gary Burleson. She is survived by her loving husband of 22 years, Lynza Butch Wheeler. Her three children: Paul Lowery, Terry Lowery (spouse), Amy Jenkins, and Toney Lowery, as well as her stepchildren Randy Wheeler, Tammy Minks-Wheeler (spouse), Cheryl Weideman, Ed Guard Weideman (spouse), Mark Wheeler, and September Giese Wheeler (spouse). Judy’s love for her children and their families was immeasurable, and she cherished each moment spent with them.
In addition to her children, Judy is survived by her grandchildren: Jessica Lowery, Ryan Lowery-Matni, Kaitlyn Jenkins, Tyson Jenkins, Hannah Lowery, Aaron Lowery, Amanda Hale, Sean Weideman, and Melinda Weideman. She took great joy in watching her grandchildren grow and thrive, and they were a constant source of pride and joy in her life.
Judy was experienced in many fields, and found her calling teaching and protecting children. She retired as a social worker for CPS in 2021. She extended her care and affection to many, and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Pallbearers for the service will be Bobby Hale, Mark Wheeler, Randy Wheeler, Ed Weideman, Tyson Jenkins, and Camden Asmussen.
Judy’s memory will remain a source of strength and comfort, and she will forever be in the hearts of those who knew her.
May she rest in peace.

To Butch and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so thankful for the time, I was privileged to have spent with Judy, at our facility. We had alot of late night talks. She was always so full of stories, wisdom and her little smirk when ” I was one step” ahead of her. I will always cherish the memories of Judy, Judy, Judy❤️ With love and deepest condolences, Julie LVN
