AUBURN — Wayne A. Wrenn, 79, of Lisbon, died Thursday, Aug. 1, at the Hospice House in Auburn, with his cousin, James A. Ross, by his side.

He was born Dec. 15, 1933, in Lisbon Falls, the son of John and Kathryn (Goddard) Wrenn Bailey. He attended Lisbon High School but did not graduate. He went on to enlist in the U.S. Coast Guard, trained at Cape May, N.J. and subsequently was assigned to Boston, Mass., and Sitka, Alaska.

He was married to Mary Marks in Sitka, Alaska, and they had eight children: daughters, Sabrina, Monique, Camille and Suzette; and sons, Wayne Jr., Frank, Anthony and Aaron.
