Elmer McDonald Wine Jr.

Elmer was born on September 15, 1946, to Elmer Wine Sr and Eva in Hartford City, Indiana. After Elmer graduated from High School in 1964, he went on to join the United States Navy, serving for 19 years when he was honorably discharged due to service-connected disabilities. He then held various positions with longevity at a few companies before retirement.

After Elmer retired, he spent his time attending church and church functions, spending extra time with his family, taking long vacations with his sister Fay and brother-in-law Jack, wood and laser working, being involved with the American Legion, Fleet Reserve and Disabled American Veterans organizations, and just filling his time to the best of his ability.

Elmer was predeceased by his parents Elmer Sr. and Eva Wine, his brother William Wine, and his sister Sue McDonald. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Suzanne Wine, his daughters Angela Cole and Kimberly Kauffman, son Jeff Wine, his grandchildren Kembri Johnson and Preston Cole, his great granddaughter Leah Jolly, his sister Fay McDonald and several nieces and nephews.
