Wayne Giauque Ashworth Age 88 "HE WAS NEVER ON TIME; HE WAS ALWAYS EARLY" Wayne Giauque Ashworth died November 16, 2007, of Natural Causes. Wayne was born March 19, 1919, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the third of five children of Harold William Ashworth and Ellen Cecile Giauque Ashworth. Wayne attended Hamilton Elementary, Roosevelt Junior, and East High schools.
Wayne was a World War II veteran, serving in Iceland in the 31st Ferrying Squadron of the Army Air Corps, the "gentlemen's army". While traveling to his assignment in Iceland, 17 of the 34 boats in his convoy were sunk by German U-boats. In Iceland, he shook the hand of then Princess (later Queen) Elizabeth. Wayne married Jennie Fercik, Sept. 16, 1944, later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple October 7, 1959. They were the parents of four children. Jennie died in a car accident November 25, 1965. Wayne married Maurine Alder Bills, December 12, 1966, in the Salt Lake Temple. She died December 16, 1995. Early in his life, Wayne worked as a furniture mover, truck driver, and coal miner. For most of his life he was an iron worker. He owned American Crane, a steel erection company, for over 35 years. Wayne was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served as Scoutmaster and Elders Quorum president. Wayne was a hard worker, generous, loved small children; loved good music of all kinds; he loved to see Old Glory fly; his heart went out to the less fortunate and those in pain. He understood that money always helps those in need.
