Obituary

MADISON / MIDDLETON - Wayne Wigdal, age 78, passed away on Saturday, June 8, 2024, with his loving family by his side. He was born on Feb. 1, 1946, in Madison, the son of Orlin and Gladys Wigdal. After attending Central High School, Wayne fulfilled his military obligation with the U.S. Marines.


Wayne married Sherene (Rejret) Wigdal on Sept. 16, 1966, and together they had two children, Patricia and Tammy.  Wayne enjoyed golfing (including four holes-in-one), hunting and going to car shows in his 1937 Ford hotrod with his bride. He loved watching hummingbirds while sitting on his perfectly manicured lawn.
