Tanya Renee Wheeler, age 54, of Harrison, Arkansas, passed away on February 22, 2026, at Baptist Memorial in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Tanya was born on July 3, 1971, to the late Janet (Tilley) and William Eley.
She was a fun-loving soul who cherished time spent with family and friends. Whether gathered around a kitchen table, sharing stories, or heading out on a bargain shopping adventure, she found joy in the simple, meaningful moments of life.
She had a gift for making everyday outings feel like small celebrations and loved nothing more than being surrounded by the people she cared about most.
She is survived by her life partner of 19 years, Tony Peoples; her son, Billy Clyde Wheeler; her cherished grandchildren, Chevy Wheeler, Eli Wheeler, and Christopher Gregory; and her siblings, William Eley Jr., Amber (Tommy) Haulcroft, and Shauna Anderson.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Janet Eley and William Eley; her son, Robert Wheeler Jr.; and her granddaughter, Natalie Wheeler.
Cremation arrangements have been made, and no memorial service is scheduled at this time.
