My deepest sympathy to Margret“s family. I know her from Covenant United Methodist Church in Fort Wayne. She was always friendly and made you feel special. We worked together on funeral dinners from time to time. She will be missed.

My sympathy to the family of Margaret Wagner. I am the Administrative Assistant at First UMC of LaGrange. Margaret was a member of the Staff Parish committee, who interviewed me 30 years ago. After she moved to Fort Wayne, she would come to LaGrange to get her hair done and would stop in the church office to say hello. She will be missed by many.

My sincere sympathy to the Wagner Family. Margaret and I were long time friends. I met Margaret as a young student nurse at Lagrange Hospital where she worked in OB. Later we became dear friends through TriKappa where we spent many enjoyable hours working on various projects. We were Co-Chairmen of the 100th TriKappa Anniversary in LaGrange and attended Sorority Convention together in French Lick. Margaret was a wonderful Christian woman, a caring and compassionate nurse, and a great friend. I miss her!
