Wayne C. Zellner, 83, died Sept. 27, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He was the husband of Patricia Zellner, with whom he shared 31 years of marriage in Emmaus. He was the son of the late Elmer and Gladys Zellner.

He served his country honorably in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, proudly working as a radio man. His service was a point of deep pride and he carried that sense of duty throughout his life. He lived a life defined by devotion, service and an unwavering willingness to help anyone who needed him.

He loved fishing, racing, the Jolly Joe Timber Show and camping.

He will be remembered fondly as the man who could fix anything — always ready with a tool, a solution, and a smile.

A celebration of his life will be held 3 p.m. Dec. 6 at the Lehigh Township Volunteer Fire Company, 4188 Lehigh Drive, Cherryville, 18035.
