Wyman Lowell Felton Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Wyman L. Felton, age 86, of Richland Center, died Wednesday, January 2, 2019, at home. He was born in Dayton Township, Richland County on January 1, 1933, the son of Cletus Sr. and Violet (Elliott) Felton. Wyman married Nancy Orsburn on August 31, 1963 in Richland Center. Wyman farmed with his older brothers, Junior (Cletus) and Wayne and went on from there to haul milk. He then took a job at the Richland County Highway Department operating heavy equipment – taking every emergency call that came to clear roads or whatever needed to be done. He took great pride in his work with the highway department. His time there was spent working hard, making lifelong friends and having some fun along the way. He worked at “the shop” for 30 years until his retirement in 1998. However, even in retirement, he couldn’t sit still for long and was always taking care of the house and vehicles and attending events for his grandchildren. Wyman loved spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He also enjoyed taking road trips with his brother Melvin and Mel’s wife, Linda. Traveling through the Black Hills of South Dakota was his favorite way to spend vacation and one which he enjoyed many times with the kids, as well as extended family, Kate (Carolyn), Wilbert, Bill, Ivan and Carla. As the grandkids got older, he repeated the trips with them. Wyman loved to talk about the cars he owned through the years and could describe each one in detail. Many laughs were shared listening to him tell stories about fast cars and his antics with his brothers, the “Felton Boys,” and also with the highway department crew. Wyman will be tremendously missed by his family and friends. Survivors include his wife; Nancy Felton of Richland Center; two children, Jeff (Vicki) Felton of Superior, Kim (Kirk) Barto of rural Lone Rock, five grandchildren; Levi, Seth & Samuel Felton of Superior, Brittany (Doug) Penfield of Richland Center, and Colton Barto (Brittany Wolff) of Brooklyn Center, MN, one great-grandson; Asher Penfield of Richland Center; five brothers, Cletus (Darlene) Felton JR, Wayne (Myra) Felton, Melvin (Linda) Felton, Marvin (Gerry) Felton, Earl (Marcia) Felton; sister-in-law/brother-in-law, Anita Felton, Carolyn (Wilbert) Troxel, Gladys Slaney, Donald Orsburn, Bob Hanson; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
