Wallace Pelnar Obituary
Wallace J. Pelnar, 92, husband, father, and friend, left this world on February 3, 2025. Born on December 24, 1932, to the late Jim and Alice (Olson) Pelnar.

In 1956, Wallace married the love of his life, Carol Dhuey. Together, they built a life rich with cherished memories, raising a family that was the heart and soul of his existence. He was a devoted family man who found delight in his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. He enjoyed working on a puzzle, capturing the world through his camera lens, painting beautiful pictures, or making canes, and continued to serve his community as a member of the American Legion for 12 years.
