She was loving mother to her three children; Alan Friend, Teri (Friend) Schlemmer, and Karen Friend, four grandchildren, six great grandchildren and nine furry grand pets. She is survived by her sister, Joan Petric of Alfred, NY. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Alberta Wheaton and her brother, Robert Wheaton. A private family ceremony is planned.
