   Eileen “Tilt” Wheeler Age 65, of Longville, Minnesota, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, August 10, 2024. Born in Longville and a proud graduate of Northland High School in 1977, Eileen was a talented artist with a passion for drawing and painting. 

   Eileen was a beloved sister, mother, Nana, aunt, and friend to many. She had a unique flair for collecting tin lunchboxes, which she transformed into purses and amassed by the hundreds, and she was also a devoted fan of Wizard of Oz memorabilia. Her creative spirit and generous heart touched the lives of those around her. 

   She is preceded in death by her parents, Lionel and Ann Wheeler; her sisters Sharon, Kathy, and Ellen; her brothers Mick, Leonard and Tim; and her nieces Natasha, Darcie, and nephew James. 

   Eileen is survived by her daughter Elisa; granddaughter Shyannamae; her brothers Gary and Randy; and her sisters Patty and Lori.

   A Celebration of Life will be held on October 5, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. at The Docksider in Longville MN. All who knew Eileen are welcome to join in honoring her memory. Arrangements are with the Koop Funeral Home in Crosby.
