MERCER – Wayne D. Meunier, 74, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026, at Redington Fairview General Hospital in Skowhegan.
Wayne was born on May 11, 1951, in Skowhegan, Maine, the son of Joseph Ludger and Arlene Elizabeth (Austin) Meunier. He grew up in the Norridgewock area and graduated from Skowhegan Area High School with the class of 1970.
