Wayne George Olmstead, 74, passed away Jan. 30, 2015, due to natural causes while doing what he loved --snowmobiling with his family. Wayne was born Aug. 11,1940, in Shelby, Mont., to May and Elmer Olmstead. He was the youngest of five children. From the humblest of beginnings, he spent his childhood in Ponca City, Okla. His family moved to Kalispell, Mont where he graduated from high school in 1959. Understanding the value of hard work, Wayne worked his way through school at his brother's logging company by day and setting bowling pins by night. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in chemistry from Montana State College in Bozeman. While at college, Wayne met Marlene Lynn Lightfoot, who was attending Montana State University in Missoula through the Square Dance Club. It was love at first sight. A year later they were married and remained so for 52 years.
