Wayne Marshall Pellam, 86, passed from this life on October 9, 2022.  He was born in South Pittsburg, TN and was the son of William and Ethel Sargent Pellam.  After the untimely death of his father he was raised by his stepfather James Tanner.  Later in life, he moved to Chester, PA where he became manager over plant operations for Sacred Heart Medical Center.

After retirement, and the death of his wife Viola, he returned to South Pittsburg.  He attended Battle Creek Baptist Church where he loved playing his guitar until his health no longer allowed.  His last years were spent at Valley View Senior Living.

He was preceded in death by his wife Anna Pearl Pellam, his parents and stepfather, his  brothers Bill, J.N., George, Joe and Ralph Pellam and his younger sister Wanda Tanner Stutz.

He is survived by several nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to Valley View Senior Living and Avalon Hospice for the wonderful care.

There will be a private Celebration of Life at a later date.
