RUSSELL WAYNE HOSEA
Wayne was born and raised in Morden, Manitoba. He took a job with Manitoba Highways Department in 1960 as a rodman/surveyor and retired in 1995. Wayne married Darlene Klein on September 3, 1960.
Wayne was very community minded. He was active in the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 11 as a lifetime member/past president. He could be seen marching in parades whenever he was available. He loved to golf and was an immensely proud member of the Minnewasta Golf Course. He was a firm believer that everybody deserves to be heard and act if he could. It was in that spirit that he ran and was elected to the Town of Morden Council. He sat on the council for eight years.
He leaves to mourn his loving wife Darlene; children, Debra Dueck (Alan), Dale Hosea (Jodi); grandchildren, Samantha Chornopyski (Mike), Michael Dueck, Christian Hosea and Haylee Hosea; great-grandchildren, William, Andy, Cory, Avaiah and Alia. His brothers, Ken (Linda) and Doug (Lorraine). Wayne was predeceased by his parents, Elvin and Matilda (Tilly) Hosea; in-laws, Frank and Alma Klein; son Michael Wayne, and brother Elvin Gary Hosea.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Maples Personal Care Home for their tireless care of our husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
Due to Covid-19 there will be no service at this time. Donations can be made to Alzheimer Society, Manitoba at https://alzheimer.mb.ca/you-can-help/donate in lieu of flowers.

Darlene and Family. Sincere condolences on the Wayne's passing. We greatly admired Wayne's work and passion in our community. Amongst many things, he always had great pride in our City, in our Legion and our Recreation Facilities like the golf course. Thinking of the time we spent around the golf course will always bring a smile to our face. - Posted by: Scott and Leah Beattie of Morden, Manitoba (Friend) on: Oct 27, 2020

Wayne was a good friend of my husband, Ken Gibson. Many many great roads in southern Manitoba were designed and built by them. I always remembered your wonderful garden. Blessings to your family - Posted by: Pat Gibson (Friend) on: Oct 20, 2020
