Linda Ehle Wheeler, 56, died peacefully Aug. 30, 2016, at home in West Hanover Township. Originally from Emmaus, she was the wife of Ronald Wheeler for 33 years. She was the daughter of Adrienne Dickerson Ehle and the late Bob Ehle.

While residing in Harrisburg, she taught at Lower Dauphin Elementary School, East Hanover Elementary School and was a remedial reading and math teacher through the Capital Area Intermediate Unit at Milton Hershey Middle School.

She was an avid reader and quilter, she spent much of her time at her sewing machine making handmade gifts deeply treasured by those dear to her.

When suddenly faced with a diagnosis of glioblastoma brain cancer, she responded with bravery and determination.
