Wayne Poeter
On June 13, 2016, Wayne Poeter of Mayerthorpe passed away at the age of 70 years. Wayne will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 35 years, Lorna; daughter, Dorothy (Brian) of Edmonton; grandchildren, Wyatt, Amelia and “furry grandson”, Captain; adopted family, Fred (Hannah), Nelles (Mandy), Amelia, Lucy, William, Wilford, Kenya and Wesley of Mayerthorpe; siblings, Lorraine (George) of Prince George, Ralph (Beverley) of Evansburg, Agnes of Nampa and Elaine (Mike) of Nampa; sister-in-law, Bev of Anselmo; and many nephews, nieces, friends and co-workers.

Wayne had a life-long love of flying; obtained his pilot’s license and flew a Cessna 150. Wayne’s citizen band radio gave him the opportunity to be an armchair traveler the world over.
