Nancy Wagner Obituary
Nancy M. Wagner (Kistler), of Hanover Township, passed away suddenly in her home on Friday, January 23, 2026. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Donald G. Wagner in 2020, after 48 years of marriage.
Nancy was a 1965 graduate of Allen High School. She began her career at Allen Electric, where she met her future husband. She is most proud of her over 25 years of work for Hanover Township, Northampton County, serving as the Township Manager's Secretary. Even after her retirement, she did several short-term stints with the Township to fill in for staff and make sure everything was always running smoothly. She was a member of Notre Dame of Bethlehem Catholic Church.
She will be forever remembered by her only child, Michael J. Wagner of Bethlehem; brother-in-law, Robert Wagner (Lisa) of Allentown; cousin, Sandra Hausman (Mike) of Schnecksville; many friends, but most importantly her best friend, Joanne Teman (John) of Slatington.
In keeping with Nancy's wishes, services will be private.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution in Nancy's name the Hanover Township Volunteer Fire Company https://htvfc.org/, or to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation https://www.bafound.org/donate/give-now/.
