Obituary
Wayne V. Kummer, 91, Dunkirk, passed away on July 8, 2020 at Miller’s Merry Manor in Hartford City.
Wayne was born on July 31, 1928, in Wells County, Indiana, to the late Samuel and Clarissa (Merritt) Kummer. He attended Chester Center High School in Poneto, near Bluffton, Indiana.
Wayne worked at Borg Warner as an assembler for 45 years, before retiring. He also worked as a TV repairman in the Muncie area for years. He was also content and happy being a part-time farmer. His farming property recently also received heritage status. But, above all, Wayne will be remembered for his devotion to his family.
He was a 30-plus year member of Mount Tabor United Methodist Church in Dunkirk.
Wayne was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend who will be missed by many. Survivors include his loving children, Rick (Sheri) Kummer, Rodney (Debbie) Kummer and Randy (Melody) Kummer; his awesome grandchildren, Kristy (Paul) Nichols, Melinda (Mogan) David, Tiffany (Country) Musick, Brandon (Maya) Kummer and Arianna (David) Buuck; his six wonderful great-grandchildren; his two devoted sisters, Maxine (Bob) Foltz and Norma Jean Collett; and his good neighbor and friend, Sue Rinker.
Wayne was preceded in death by his parents; wife of 50-plus years, Fern L. (Lake) Kummer; and 12 siblings.
Services were held Saturday at Garden View Funeral Home, Muncie. Burial was in Gardens of Memory Cemetery.
