Wanda Moeller
Wanda Moeller
She was born to Linda and Bill Heavilin on Oct. 23, 1966 and grew up in Momence, Ill. She resided there with her parents until the age of 16 when they moved to Williston, North Dakota, the place she would call home for many years. She met and married Paul Taylor on May 19, 2000, and were married until his death in 2005. In 2009 she welcomed her daughter, Janaya, the light of her life. She found love with and married Susan Moeller on Dec. 31, 2015 and they continued to make their home together with their daughter in Williston until a recent move to Rhinelander.
It is difficult to sum up a beautiful life in a few paragraphs. To all who knew her, she was a loving mother and wife, trusted and loyal friend and animal lover and exceptional human. She had many friends and was beloved among all who knew her. She was active in her community, a loyal employee, having worked at Walmart for 26 years and most recently Sabin Metal West. She loved to laugh and celebrate with friends and family. She was an excellent dart player and loved the relationships she nurtured through the sport. She had a joyful heart, and she put others before herself frequently. She relished her life as a mother, an unexpected gift later in life. She understood the value of people over things, having lost loved ones early and unexpectedly in her lifetime.
Wanda is survived by her wife, Susan Moeller, and her daughter, Janaya Fixen of Rhinelander, her sister Brianna Wright of Elkhart, Ind.; aunt Connie Cox and uncle Jerry Cox from Lake Village, Ind.; uncle Larry and Juanita Cox of St. Anne, Ill., aunt Shirley Hoover of Marshall, Ind., cousin Dawn Johnson of Crawfordsville, Ind., Scott Hoover of Marshall, Ind. and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her father, Bill Heavilin, mother, Linda Cox, and her grandparents. A graveside memorial will be held at Wilderness Rest Cemetery in Lake Tomahawk on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2020 at 3 p.m. There will be a Celebration of Life planned for the spring of 2021 in her former home of Williston, North Dakota, to be announced at a later date.
