Life's Work/Service/Interests: In 1942, Wayne bought his mother's farm in Hill Spring, Alberta, Canada. He married Velora Allred in the Cardston Alberta LDS Temple in 1944; they spent the next 37 years in Hill Spring. In 1979, he and Velora moved to Utah. After nearly 47 years together, his loving wife, Velora, passed away. Wayne's children feel blessed that Sharon Gant came into his life and they were married December 14, 1991, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Wayne was always very active in the LDS Church and enjoyed every opportunity for service that he had been given. Serving in the temple was one of Wayne's favorite things to do. No matter how busy things were on the farm, he always found a way to pause each week and attend the temple with Velora. His temple service continued into his late 80s. He loved to work and focused diligently on teaching each of his seven children to work as they were growing up. He also loved to serve and was continually looking for those who needed uplifting in any way. He treasured his family and many friends, second only to his Lord and Savior.
