Retired librarian and local author Jean Wheeler dies aged 92


A CHERISHED Isle of Wight author and librarian has died peacefully at the age of 92.
Jean Wheeler (nee McInnes) was born on June 22, 1928 in East Cowes to Scottish parents. The family relocated to Southampton in 1935, where her father was a draughtsman at a shipyard.
During the Second World War she was evacuated to Bournemouth for a short period prior to the devastating and untimely death of her father in a road accident in 1943.
Mrs Wheeler left school at 16 and worked in a dairy, a year later starting work as an assistant librarian at the University College of Southampton.
She loved her work, but left in 1950 to marry Ray, an engineering student from the Island, who she had met at the local methodist church social club. ....
