Our Valued Staff
Allen H. Brown, Partner - Director (In Memory)
Allen, a long time community leader and respected Funeral Director passed away on October 3rd, 2009. Allen touched many lives in ways that can hardly be explained. Allen's wish when he became involved with Wheeler & Woodlief was to ensure that the community had a dependable, professional and locally owned and operated Funeral Home that puts the family first.
Prior to becoming involved with Wheeler & Woodlief, Allen served this community as owner and Funeral Director of Johnson Funeral Home from the 1950s until 1995 when ownership of Johnson's changed.
Allen will always be a guiding light for Wheeler & Woodlief and we honor his dedication to the service of others by continuing to serve as we know that he would want.

Debbie returned to the Funeral Services business working with her father in 1988 and has been the cornerstone of the Funeral Home's business ever since.
