She served her community as the Secretary of Friendship Cemetery for 40 years. Mrs. Wagner leaves behind her loving family which includes three daughters, Mary Sherman Willson of Houston, Texas, Sue Hearne of The Woodlands, Texas, and Anna Wargo of Charlotte, North Carolina; seven grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
