Duane passed away Friday morning, May 15, 2020, at St. Marys Hospital in Rochester, Minn.

Duane Earl Senne was born May 10, 1944, in Longview, Wash., son of Earl and Irene (Wagner) Senne. Duane attended public schools in Granada, Minn. On Sept. 23, 1965, Duane enlisted in the U.S. Army. He achieved the rank of SP4(T) and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal before earning his honorable discharge on July 24, 1967.

On July 9, 1971, Duane was united in marriage to Leanne Zalesky at the courthouse in Sioux Falls, S.D. The couple resided in Fairmont, where they shared their lives. This union was blessed with six children: Shelly, Robin, Rhonda, Todd, Nicole and Lynette.

Duane was a member of St. John’s United Church of Christ in Fairmont.
