If you intend to reuse the iPad with a different AppleID, you would be well advised to prepare it properly for reuse by your wife - as this will ensure that the Activation Lock associated with the original AppleID is removed, along with all data and other sensitive information:

Proper preparation will not affect any of your iCloud data - or locally stored data on your new iPad.
