Wayne was born on Aug. 6, 1934, in McKinney to Tom and Euna Fay Smith Teague. He was a member of the graduating class at Sherman High School in 1952. An avid football fan, he never missed a Sherman Bearcat home game in 50 years. He married Nancy Lee Dollins on Dec. 26, 1955, in Sherman. They had enjoyed almost 54 years of marriage when she preceded him in death just a few short months ago.

He then served as an independent furniture sales representative from 1990-2000.

He received the Outstanding Service award in 1967-1968 and was honored as Lion of the Year on two different occasions. He also served on the board of the Julien C. Hyer Lions International Youth Camp from 1975-1977. His community service also included serving as county publicity chairman of the United Fund Campaign of 1973, and he was a past president of the Grayson County Heart Fund.
