Fred Wells Obituary
Fred A. Wells entered eternal rest on December 26, 2023, after a long illness. He was born on August 2, 1945, to Jeanette (Stetzel) Wells and Fred L. Wells. After graduating from Marion High School, he served two years in the U.S. Army. His career was in supermarket management, starting with A&P and retiring after 40 years with Marsh Supermarkets.
Anyone who knew Fred knew a man who was generous, caring, and kind. No one ever left his home hungry. He was always willing to help a friend or a stranger. He loved being out in his garden and planting flowers and mowing his lawn. He loved his family with all his heart.
He is survived by his four children, Melissa Asfeld, Thomas Wells, Mark (Heather) Wells, and Michelle Wells; special daughter, Lisa (Drew) Berendts; 11 grandchildren, Caiden, Kristen, Zachary, Tyler, Allie, Jacob, Lyndsay, Beth, Shelby, Mattingly, and Dalton; one great-grandchild, Sylas; sisters-in-law, Mary and Diana; niece, Stacy; nephew, Chris; and many cousins. He is also survived by his special friend, Nan Recometa, who has been a blessing to our entire family.
He was preceded in death by his parents; loving wife, Polly; sister, Doris; brother, Dick; and brother-in-law, Don.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Gina Traylor who helped brighten our dad's day by helping him with his flowers and gardens, as well as making him laugh.
The family will receive visitors from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, at Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral & Cremation Service, North Chapel, 1341 N. Baldwin Ave., Marion, IN.
