Mr. Alphonza H. Wasare, 89, of Columbus, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at Columbus Hospice.

Born on February 29, 1936, in Savannah, Georgia, Mr. Wasare was the son of the late Rev. Henry Wheeler and Flora Battle Wheeler. He was a proud 1955 graduate of William H. Spencer High School.

Mr. Wasare honorably served his country with 20 years of distinguished service in the United States Navy, where he dedicated his skills, discipline, and commitment to excellence.

He will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Sarah Powell Wasare; two sons, Eric Alphonza H. Wasare of Portland, OR, and Van Barry Wasare of Ceres, CA; a daughter-in-law, Cynthia Lynn Wasare; one sister, Edna Wells of Atlanta, GA; two cherished grandchildren, Kanesha Lynn Phillips and James Wasare; and one great-granddaughter, SaRae Lynn Joiner.
