Douglas Raymond Mayne age 80,

419 W. Ramsdell St., Marion, WI passed into eternal life Wednesday July 2, 2008 at Living Tree Estates, Greenville, WI where he had been a resident since April, 2007.

Douglas was born into earthly life on February 19, 1928 in Marion, WI, the son of Raymond Clifford Mayne and Nora Bazile Mayne.

Doug grew up in Marion and was a 1946 graduate of Marion High School.  He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1950 with a degree in Economics and Finance, and membership in Theta Delta Chi fraternity.

On August 20, 1960 Doug was united in marriage to Nancy Carolyn Froker, at the First Congregational Church, Madison, WI.  Doug and Nancy lived in Caroline, WI for four years, prior to moving to Marion.  Children born to Doug and Nancy were Lisa Carrie and Christopher Lowell.

Doug was a lifelong, active member of the First United Methodist Church of Marion, where he held many leadership positions.  He especially loved singing in the choir.

Upon graduation from the University Doug was selected to be a part of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company College Training Class of 1950, and pursued that position until entering the United States Army in June of 1952 as a 2^nd Lieutenant.

Doug served the Army in Virginia and Korea, returning to civilian life in April, 1954.  He continued his military service with the 84^th Division of the United States Army Reserves, commanding military units in Wausau and Appleton.   In 1978 Doug retired from the Army with the rank of Lt. Colonel.

When Doug returned to Marion from Korea he found a new appreciation for the community values of his home town.  He was deeply rooted in the history and ongoing life of the city of Marion and chose it as his home for the rest of his life.  He joined his father at Mayne Auto Sales in Marion, becoming president when his father died in 1963.  In January 1993, a celebration marked 60 years of operation for Mayne Auto Sales, Doug’s retirement, and the sale of the family business.

After his retirement, Doug continued to use his educational and business background as an alderman of the City of Marion for 4 years, working primarily in the fields of finance and personnel.  He was active in the Marion Economic Development Corporation.

As Doug loved the Marion community, he also embraced the world community, expressing his interest in the enjoyment of travel, and fostering youth exchange experiences for high school students.  He was involved with American Field Service for 10 years, and as a member of the Marion Rotary Club, he chaired the Rotary Youth Exchange Program for another 26 years.  Doug’s passion for world understanding through these exchanges enriched the lives of these students, the host families, our schools, and the community of Marion.  For his contributions to Rotary International Doug was named a Paul Harris Fellow.

Doug served on the CESA Agency 7 school reorganization committee for several years as President.  He became a member of Clintonville Lodge 197, Free and Accepted Masons in 1952 and was Master in 1960.  He was President of the Waupaca-Outagamie County Automobile Dealer’s Association, and served on the Board of Directors of the Dodge Dealers Advertising Council.

Doug’s family and his multitude of friends were central in his life.  Gatherings of his extended family pleased him greatly, whether it was sharing old stories with his fraternity brothers, retelling military tales, or being with the many family friends he cherished.    Doug was a legendary story teller and that voice will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.

Doug was preceded in death by his parents, his brother and sister-in-law Burton and Opal Mayne, Oshkosh, WI; his brother Michael Mayne, Seymour, WI; his brother-in-law William Schultz, Appleton, WI; nephews and a niece.

Doug is survived by his wife, Nancy; their children Lisa and Ron Steiner, Madison, WI; Chris and Dana Mayne, Mequon, WI; their grandson Brooks Douglas Mayne, Mequon, WI; his sister Mildred Schultz, Appleton, WI; his brother and sister-in-law Terence and Carrol Mayne, The Villages, FL; his sister-in-law Patti Farrell, Vonore, TN; and many nieces and nephews.  The staff of Living Tree Estates, Heartland Hospice, and other agencies became part of the Mayne family for the past year and a half, and we will always cherish their gifts of gentle and loving care.

Doug is also preceded and survived by all those he loved and with whom he shared this wonderful journey of life.

Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 5, 2008 at First United Methodist Church, Marion.  Doug’s family will welcome friends at the church from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service.

If you wish to contribute a memorial gift, you would especially honor Doug with donations made to the Marion Area Community Foundation, designated for the Doug and Nancy Mayne Rotary Youth Exchange Fund, the First United Methodist Church of Marion, or the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Wisconsin. 

The Eberhardt-Stevenson Funeral Home of Marion is assisting his family.  Condolences may be sent through www.eberhardtstevenson.com.
