May Wagner went home to Jesus on May 15th 2025. She was surrounded by family in her home, that she shared with her son Neal Wagner Jr. May resided in Palm Bay, Florida for the last 24 years.
May was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was raised in an area called "The Meadows". She later resided in Tinicum Township, Pennsylvania where she and her beloved husband Neal Wagner raised there three children, Linda, Debbie, and Neal Jr. She raised her children with the philosophy that everyone is to be treated with respect and dignity. She believed that it cost nothing to smile and say hello to everyone you meet. She also held a strong belief in God and Heaven.
May enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed cooking and feeding everyone. She enjoyed playing bingo, traveling, going on cruises, and her most favorite of all was playing those slot machines! May enjoyed her holidays and decorating for all of them. She never met a stranger, just a potential friend!
May is survived by her three children, Linda Watson (Guy), Debbie Doyle, and Neal Wagner Jr., as well as her 6 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by the love of her life Neal Wagner Sr., her parents Jenny and Julius Bodensieck, her 6 siblings, and her son in law Mike Doyle.
May was loved by all and will be missed but never forgotten!
