Our loving mother, Kimberly (Kim) D. Rooney, 65, of Indianapolis, IN, passed away on October 11, 2023, at her home. Kim was born to the late Lester (Wayne) and Judith Wheeler on May 29, 1958, in Bloomington, Illinois. Kim attended John Marshall High School and later took college classes at Ivy Tech Community College. Kim was a sports fanatic and loved her home teams, the Indianapolis Colts and the Indiana Pacers. During football and basketball seasons, you could always find her yelling at the TV as she watched the games. Kim was extremely proud of her family, especially her children and grandchildren. She was a caring, loving, and generous person who never met a stranger. She definitely left her stamp on many lives. Kim is survived by her two daughters: Cherese (Mike) Bargo, of Fortville, and Christian (Arthur) Harvey, of Indianapolis. She is also survived by her brother Mike (Lisa) Wheeler, her sisters Karri (Robert) Amory, Kelly (Mike) Barber, and Kami Stewart; 12 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; and many “adopted” kids, friends, and family who will miss her dearly. Kim was preceded in death by her sons Brandon and Brian Rooney, her parents Lester (Wayne) and Judith Wheeler, and her brother Marc (Shayne) Wheeler.
