He passed away at Central Washington Hospital. Owen was born on July 5, 1924, in Sage, AR, to Phillip Edgar and Maud Mae (Taylor) Wamock. He was third of seven children. He lived in Arkansas most of his younger years and attended school in Melborne. On September 26, 1942, Owen married Virginia Ann Herron. They were married for 61 years. Owen and Virginia moved to Washington in 1943. Owen entered the U.S. Army in 1943, and served in the 42nd Infantry Division Rainbow Rangers in the European Theater, helping to ensure the freedom of our country. Owen was one of the service men who liberated prisoners from concentration camps. After returning from his military service, he worked in agriculture in Washington and Arkansas. Owen was a very hard worker, almost always holding down two jobs. Some of those jobs included ice and Dr. Pepper delivery, lineman, gas station owner, and landlord. Upon returning to Washington, Owen entered a career in the aluminum industry, working for Alcoa in Wenatchee and Harvey Brothers Aluminum in The Dalles, OR. During his career at Alcoa, he also assisted with the construction of Wanapum Dam and Rocky Reach Dam, and he owned and operated a cherry orchard. Owen retired from Alcoa after 29 years of service on August 1, 1986. He continued farming the cherry orchard until 2011. Amongst Owen's many interests were woodworking and playing softball. He was a faithful and dedicated member of Wenatchee First Assembly of God for many years. Owen is survived by three daughters: Sharon Kinney and her husband, Bob of Salem, OR; Marsha Ramm and her husband, Robert of Wilbur, WA; Darla Miller and her husband, Scott of Whitefish, MT; a son, Steve Wammack and his wife, Jeni of Grand Rapids, MI; and three sisters, Maude Mae Evans of Arkansas, Wanda Spence of Missouri, and Sue Langston of Arkansas. He is survived by ten grandchildren, Derrick, Krista, Jenifer, Anna, Rachel, Jana, Angela, Grady, Grace and Sam; and eight great-grandchildren, Whitney, Anthony, Lauren, Hannah, Conner, Dillon, Leah, and Alexis. Owen is also survived by his very special friend, Donna Mustard, of Wenatchee.
