Marcia Anette Wheeler

Marcia A. (Ferrier) Wheeler, age 78, of Livonia, Michigan, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, January 15, 2026. She was born on November 1, 1947, and was the beloved daughter of the late Joyce Marie Schroder and Donald James Ferrier.

Marcia was a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose life was centered around family, friendship, and quiet acts of kindness. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Melissa Wheeler.

She is survived by her brothers, Donald H. Ferrier of Florida and Norman P. Ferrier; and her cherished children and their spouses: Carie Wright (Luke Wright), Matthew Wheeler (Anna Bozhilova), Jennifer Wick (Warren Wick), Emily McEldowney (James McEldowney), Jason Wheeler (Andrea Wheeler), and John Wheeler (Jackie Wheeler).

Marcia was a proud grandmother to Katherine Wright, Jordan McEldowney (Holly McEldowney), Kyle Wright (Madelyn Wright), Tyler McEldowney (Mary McEldowney), Andre Ritzler, Megan McEldowney, Noah Wheeler, James Wheeler, Jeffery Wheeler, Emma Wheeler, and Jacob Wheeler; and a great-grandmother to Barrett McEldowney, Everly McEldowney, Adira McEldowney, and Carter McEldowney.

She also leaves behind many dear friends of more than 50 years—friendships she treasured deeply and maintained with care, regular conversation, and heartfelt concern.

Marcia found joy in planting flowers, painting, crocheting, and watching old movies. She was known for her wisdom, her gentle and attentive listening, and her ability to make others feel truly heard. An amazing cook, she shared her love of cooking with her children and grand children, passing along not just recipes but time, patience, and love.

Marcia touched many lives and will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and unwavering devotion to those she loved. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

“If flowers grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me

place them in my Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me.

Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile,

Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy, I will do it every day,

but there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away”
