Wayne Wollenslegel

Wayne H. Wollenslegel, 71, of Clyde, Ohio departed from us on November 21, 2025. Known affectionately as "Skeeter" and "Pops," Wayne was born in Bellevue, Ohio on December 4, 1953. Throughout his life, Wayne was known for his wit, generosity, and loving nature. His funny spirit was a beacon of joy for those around him, a testament to his commitment to making others smile.

For 12 years, Wayne dedicated his life to working as a laborer at Bellevue Manufacturing and later at Whirlpool Corp. in Clyde, Ohio, where he retired in 1999. He was a Lifetime Member of the Clyde Moose & Clyde Eagles and a member of the Clyde VFW. Some of Wayne's favorite moments were playing poker weekly at the VFW, participating in the Sunday Funday League at the Moose, playing euchre, camping and sprint car racing. His hobbies were a reflection of his playful spirit and his love for friends and family.

Wayne married his beloved wife Joan (Tooman) Wollenslegel on August 15, 1981. Their union was blessed with a beautiful family who will forever cherish his memory. Wayne is survived by his loving wife, Joan (Tooman) Wollenslegel of Clyde, OH; daughter, Brandi Dinan; sons, Jeremiah (Jeanette Ottney) Wollenslegel and James Wollenslegel; and his grandchildren, Kyle Chase, Levi Dinan, Mikael Wollenslegel, and Matthew Wollenslegel. He is also survived by his great-grandchildren Zaylie Chase, Cameron Noftz, and Peightyn Chase. Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Violet Wollenslegel, and his sister, Pamela Wollenslegel.

A memorial service will be held 4pm, Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Clyde Moose Lodge, 134 Eaton Avenue, Clyde, Ohio. This will be immediately followed by a Celebration of Life. In honor of Wayne Wollenslegel, memorial contributions may be made to his family or the Sandusky County Cancer Care Fund in care of United Way of Sandusky County. As Mark Twain once said, "The secret of success is making your vocation your vacation." Wayne truly lived out this mantra, finding joy in his work, hobbies, and above all, his family.
