Wayne Lee O'Connor

Wayne had a very strong work ethic. He worked for Country Fresh Dairy for 46 years, and was also known to lend a hand to someone in need. He also had a quick-witted sense of humor and could light up any room with his shenanigans. Most importantly, he loved his family, especially his grandkids, and cherished each moment spent with them. He will be deeply missed.

Wayne is survived by his wife of 52 years, Judy O’Connor; children Vicki (Rich) Labelle, Shawn O’Connor; grandchildren Jimmy (Christin) Clevenger, CJ (Brandy) O’Connor, Holden Clairmont, Brianna (Cody) Bowman, Chase (Hannah) Langerhorst, Trent (Alex) O’Connor-Morales, Lexi (Don) O’Connor; great-grandchildren Braelynn, Jen, AJ, Carson, Weston, Elijah, and one on the way; siblings Bonnie, LaVonne, Barb, Donna, Cheri, Dale; and many extended relatives and friends.

Wayne is preceded in death by his parents Matthew and Ann O’Connor; siblings Scott and Russell.
