Jefferson/Janesville - Wayne M. Anderson, age 79, of Jefferson, WI, a former long-time Janesville resident passed away at his home on Wednesday, February 13, 2019. Wayne was born in Janesville on September 28, 1939, the son of Marvin and Mildred “Dolly” (Emmert) Anderson. Wayne grew up in Janesville, attended Janesville schools and graduated from Janesville Senior High School in 1959. He served with the U. S. Marine Corps Reserves. He married Marilyn A.

Wayne was an active member of Cargill United Methodist Church where he was formerly head usher and was active on the slow pitch softball team for many years.
