Morris Wayne Little was born April 13, 1948 to Morris and Irene Little in Lindsey, OK. He graduated from Capitol Hill High School in 1966 where he met his wife, Joanne. Wayne wrestled and played football.
He later attended Cameron College in Lawton, OK on a full football scholarship. The love of his life, Joanne, attended Oklahoma State University. Wayne only played 1 semester and could not stand to be that far from Joanne. Wayne gave up his scholarship and moved back to Oklahoma City and begin working and attending Central State College in Edmond and graduated with a teaching degree. Wayne worked as teacher at Webster Middle School for 30 years until he retired.
Wayne and Joanne were married March 29, 1969 at Capitol Hill Baptist Church. Joanne worked until Wayne got his Masters and then she went back to school and got her teaching degree. They were happily married for 50 years. They lived in Oklahoma City and then had 2 sons, Jeffrey and Michael.
Wayne enjoyed spending time fishing, the lake, watching his boys wrestle and play football, and spending time with his family. In the later days, Wayne enjoyed spending time with Joanne watching their grandchildren play and ride on his walker.
Wayne struggled with chronic illnesses for the past few years. He got his strength from his family, friends and his faith in God.
Wayne was a strong believer and prayed all the time for his family and friends. Even though, he will be missed by everyone who knew him, he is now free of pain, having no more breathing issues, walking without a walker and seeing his Savior face to face.
Wayne is survived by his loving wife, Joanne, devoted sons Jeff Little and wife Amber of Edmond; son Michael Little and wife Emily of Edmond; grandchildren Jace and Grace; brother Rick Little and wife Linda of Mustang; sister Teena McKeown and husband Steve of Edmond and nieces and nephews.
