Wayne Dodge Olds passed away on Friday, July 28 at home at the age of 90. He was born in Toquerville on April 14, 1927, the fourth child of Arthur Olds and Lottie Dodge. He married Darlene Demille on May 17, 1945 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their marriage was later solemnized in the St. George Temple. He served in the Army and was stationed in Cuba and Puerto Rico for much of his military service. He worked in mining and construction and was a member of the Operating Engineers Union.
He owned a fruit orchard in Hurricane for many years and enjoyed the opportunity it gave him to visit with family and friends as they came to get fruit. He sold the orchard property in 2006 and no longer had the excuse that he had to “get home to take the water”. He loved to go fishing, deer hunting and exploring the back country of Southern Utah on his four-wheeler with family and friends.
He is survived by his children: Karen Brown, Steven (Janteen) and Jerry (Susan); 11 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren and 5 great great grandchildren; siblings Lloyd, Valene Norton, Patty Ann Henrie (James) and sister-in-law Sue Olds. Proceed in death by his wife Darlene, son-in-law Ron Brown, Sisters Lois Iverson and Thelma Scholzen, and Brothers Clark and Clayton.
A visitation will be held on Friday, August 4 from 6 to 8 pm at the Spilsbury Mortuary, 25 North 2000 West, Hurricane. Graveside service will be held on Saturday, August 5 at 10:00 am at the Hurricane City Cemetery.
Arrangements are under the direction of Spilsbury Mortuary, (435) 673-2454. Friends and family are invited to sign his guestbook at www.spilsburymotuary.com.
The family wishes to express thanks to his family and friends for their many acts of kindness and service and Alpha Hospice for their compassionate care.
