Wayne Alvin Barner, age 83, entered eternal rest on March 19th, 2021 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was surrounded by his loving family and entered God’s presence peacefully. Wayne was born on August 25th, 1937 in Aaronsburg, PA, the only son of Esther Krape Barner and Charles Lee Barner. He was happily married to Helene Mary Barner (née Schumacher), his wife of 59 years, on June 13th, 1962. Wayne enlisted in the USMC in 1956 after he attended USMC recruit basic training at Parris Island, SC. While on active duty, he was selected to attend the Naval Academy Preparatory School as a Midshipman Candidate and entered the United States Naval Academy as a Midshipman in 1958. In June 1962, he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the USMC and attended several specialized training schools, including Field Artillery Training in Fort Sill, OK. Following his promotion to 1st Lieutenant, he deployed to Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Wayne attained the rank of Captain and was discharged from the USMC on June 30th, 1967.
