Wayne was born in Denton, NE, on July 29, 1917, to Fred & Cora Rosekrans. He spent his early years in Denton and Waco, NE, graduating from Waco High School in 1935. In 1937, Wayne moved to the Wenatchee Valley with his parents, brother, Warren and sister, Vivian. Sisters Daisy & Hazel were married and remained in Nebraska. In 1941, Wayne married Lucille Ferguson, a Wenatchee native; they became the parents of Janice, Reita & Sara. Wayne worked as a foreman for a local orchardist and also worked construction as a hod carrier. Wayne and Lucille built a house and planted an orchard on 5 acres in East Wenatchee during the mid-1940's. The Rosekran's Fruit Stand on Sunset Highway became well known to locals and others across the state; many customers came year after year for up to 40 years for peaches. In 1952, Wayne went to work as a maintenance man for Puget Sound Power & Light (later to become Chelan Co. PUD). Wayne retired from the PUD in 1977, as a Chief Operator and he and Lucille enjoyed a number of years traveling throughout the lower U.S. in their pickup and camper, visiting family, friends & sites of interest. In January 1986, Lucille Ferguson Rosekrans passed away and Wayne was alone for the first time in his life. In August 1986, Wayne married Lucille Fife. Together they continued tending the peach orchard from April through October. November through March they were snow birds in Mesa, AZ, at Valle de Oro RV Park where they made many new friends from around the U.S. and Canada and enjoyed the many volunteer opportunities the Park community offered. They continued this routine until September 1999, when declining health forced them to remain in the Wenatchee Valley. Wayne was preceded in death by his wife in March 2005. He is survived by three daughters, Jan Laine of Long Beach, CA, Reita (Paul) Wood of Seattle and Sara (Jim) Christensen of Coeur d'Alene, ID; three step-sons, Ken (Jeanne) Fife, Jim (Laurel) Fife both of Wenatchee, Jerry (Andrea) Fife and Shirley Bradford, both of East Wenatchee; four grandchildren, Mike Wood of Seattle, Amy Wood of McCloud, CA, Cora Christensen of Jackson, WY, and Asa Christensen of San Antonio, TX; two great-grandchildren, Kjerstin Wood of Seattle and Kyle Rochester of McCloud, CA. In addition, there are a number of extended family grandchildren and great-grandchildren who Wayne counted as part of his family. Wayne was a longtime member of the First United Methodist Church of Wenatchee and was a 60+ year member of both the East Wenatchee Grange and the Wenatchee Eagles. The family suggests memorials be made to the Church, Grange or Eagles. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Telford's Chapel of the Valley on Saturday, July 16, 2005, at 2:00 p.m. Services will conclude in the chapel. Arrangements are by Telford's Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee.
