Maynard Sanders
January 4, 1927 — September 10, 2015
Maynard F. Sanders, 88, died peacefully September 10, 2015 at Bryn Mawr Hospital. He was a proud fifty year resident of Wayne, Pennsylvania. He was the husband of 53 years of the late Diana Rafuse Sanders.
Born January 4, 1927 in Bristol, Pennsylvania, the son of the late John R. Sanders and Anna Mae Smith Sanders, and the brother of the late Evelyn Sanders Pleins, the late Robert J. Sanders and the late Jack R. Sanders.
He grew up in Upper Darby, graduating from Upper Darby High School. He was a member of the U.S. Army from 1945-46. He was a District Sales Manager of the Illinois Central Railroad until retirement, and held many part-time jobs until age 83. Maynard enjoyed playing tennis at Martin's Dam Swim Club, sports of all kinds, especially the Phillies and Eagles, Villanova and Temple, as well as immersing himself in all current events. He was the oldest member at age 70 of the Mercuri's Bar Summer Softball League to hit a home run - and bases were loaded!
Maynard is survived by his grateful four children Hilarie Showalter, Jeffrey Sanders, Douglas Sanders, and Jill (Jane) Sanders, and his six grandchildren Payton Sanders, Brett Sanders, Beau Sanders, Tessa Sanders, Mallory Showalter and Connor Showalter, all of whom he was very proud.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit the family Tuesday, September 15, 2015 6:00-7:00 PM The Donohue Funeral Home, 366 W. Lancaster Avenue, Wayne, PA (610) 989-9600 and to his Funeral Service at 7:00 PM. Interment private.
