Walter Wayne Waggaman's Obituary
CHRISMAN – Walter Wayne Waggaman 90, of Chrisman, passed away at 9:38 pm, Wednesday, January 31, 2018, at Life's Journey Senior Living in Paris.
Visitation is from 6 to 8pm on Saturday, February 3 at Stewart and Carroll Funeral Home who is in charge of arrangements. Mr. Waggaman's wishes were to be cremated. A burial service of remains is planned for Monday, June 11, of this year at 11:00 am at Friends Chapel Cemetery near Scottland. The delay will make allowances for family living out of state.
He was born September 4, 1927, in Prairie Township near Scottland, IL, the son of the late Russell and Ruth McAllister Waggaman. He married Iris Craig on September 22, 1949, in Bloomington, Illinois. She passed away April 20, 2005. He was preceded in death by his parents and an infant brother.
He is survived by his six daughters: Shirley (Ron) Johnson of Chrisman, Patti (Henry) Phipps of Minneola, Florida; Beverly (Andy) Weathers of Avon, Indiana; Connie Waggaman of Horicon, Wisconsin; Merri (Jeff) Voigt of Chrisman, and Judy (Jack) Wyatt of Chrisman; 11 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, and several cousins.
Mr. Waggaman was a 1945 graduate of Scottland High School and served in the Army towards the end of World War II. Following the war he began his vocational career in various Industrial/Mechanical jobs retiring in 1993. He also possessed a particular talent in construction, building both his parents' home and later his own several years later, both located on US Highway 36. He also possessed the uncanny ability to repair almost anything that was broken, be it something in the home or a piece of jewelry.
Hobbies included restoring classic Mustangs, an interest in geneology several centuries back, and collecting glass hats. His ultimate pride and joy was in his accomplishment of having raised six girls and watching their respective families grow.
Memorial gifts may be made to Lincolnland Hospice.
