Mena Pagett

Philomena Knör Pagett, 96, of Casper, passed away peacefully on December 26, 2024. Born on December 7, 1928, in Munich, Germany, her parents were Martin and Anna (Scheugenpfuger) Knör. She lived a remarkable life marked by resilience, love, and a deep faith in her Lord and Savior. She came to the United States March 19, 1956 and became an American citizen August 13, 1963 in Sheridan, Wyoming. Mena's journey to America began when she married Les Moore of Sheridan, who preceded her in death. She later married Irwin Pagett of Fort Morgan, Colorado, who also passed before her. Mena was preceded in death by her son, Myron Pagett, as well as all 17 of her siblings. Despite these losses, Mena’s spirit remained steadfast, and she found comfort in knowing that most of her friends and family were awaiting her in heaven. A woman of great strength and warmth, Mena had a lifelong passion for connecting with others. She enjoyed swimming at Lifetime Fitness with her friends, followed by quiet afternoons spent sipping coffee and sharing stories. One of her greatest joys was recounting her experiences growing up during World War II, a time that shaped her character and instilled in her a deep appreciation for life’s blessings. Mena is survived by her children: Louis Pagett, Peggy Brunmeier, Kevin & Toni(Chamberlain) Pagett. She is also survived by her grandchildren Amber Phillips, Hayley Brunmeier, Morgan, Madison and Mackenzie Pagett, and great granddaughter Cheyenne Phillips. Mena’s life was a testament to perseverance, compassion, and the power of faith. She will be missed by all who knew her, but her legacy of love, kindness, and resilience will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. A private service will be held at a later date. Rest in peace, Mena. You are now reunited with those you loved and will always be in our hearts.
