Pleasant Grove High School

Wayne Golden Peay - 10/19/2010

Class of 1948

After recently celebrating his 80th birthday and 60th wedding anniversary with his eternal sweetheart, Wayne Golden Peay, of Lindon passed away unexpectedly on October 19 after an accidental fall.

Wayne was born August 17, 1930 in Pleasant Grove to Golden Beal and Estella Johnson Peay. He lived in Pleasant Grove and Lindon his entire life. He married his eternal sweetheart, Geraldine Adamson on September 27, 1950 in the Salt Lake Temple.

Wayne served in the U. S. Army during the Korean conflict. After returning home, he worked for Utah Power & Light and retired after 38 years of service. Wayne and Geri served several missions for the LDS Church in Winter Quarters, Cove Fort, and 9 years at the Bishops Storehouse. He was a faithful and devoted member of the LDS Church, serving in many stake and ward callings throughout his life. One of his greatest joys was traveling with the Good Sam’s Club where he made many life-long devoted friends. Wayne loved the gospel, his family and friends. He always had time to serve a friend or talk with a stranger who then became a new friend.

He loved to ride horses in American Fork Canyon, where he spent many years working for his grandfather when he was young. His greatest love and joy was his family including his 3 children, 10 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Each one had a personal relationship with him. He taught them correct principles and lived by them. He was always an example of love, faith, commitment and service and his life radiated the gospel of Jesus Christ.

He is survived by his eternal sweetheart Geraldine; his three children: Cheri Hansen, Lindon; Connie (Mike) Marchbanks, Lindon; and Kevin (Cindy) Peay, Centerville. He will especially be missed by his grandchildren and his great grandchildren who he adored.

Bye for now Dad and Grandpa! We love you!
