Rose Dagen Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Age 75, of Upper St. Clair, formerly of Waynesboro, Pa., passed away peacefully after a prolonged cancer battle on Friday, August 16, 2024. Rose was the beloved wife of 28 years to Dr. Richard J. Frank; loving mother John Samuel (Sherry) Lois, and Henry Lois; loving stepmother of Joseph Frank and Nicholas (Erin) Frank; grandmother of Ella and Leah Frank; dear sister of Wilmer (Mim) Dagen, James Dagen, Dr. Dan (Kerry) Dagen, and Eunice (Tim) Beachy; and sister-in-law of Ronald (the late Marsha) Frank. Rose is also survived by her former spouse, Dr. John Lois. She was preceded in death by her parents Paul and Lois Dagen.
Born in Lancaster, Pa., Rose graduated from Atmore High School, and went on to Atmore School of Nursing. She then attended Oklahoma State University where she earned her bachelor's degree, and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. She completed her cardiology residency at Allegheny General Hospital, before settling in Waynesboro, where she had a successful practice, holding dual board certifications in internal medicine and cardiology. She retired in 2019, and enjoyed spending time with Frank and their family, as well as working outside in her flower garden. She will be dearly missed.
The family would like to thank Canterbury Place for the exceptional, compassionate care they provided to Rose in her final days.

Just found out today about Dr. Dagen's passing. She was our cardiologist for a long time. I had been ill and out of touch and didn't know. She was a fine doctor and we appreciated her excellent care. Our sympathy to her family.

I worked with Dr. Dagen for many years in ICU/CCU at Waynesboro Hospital. She always has her patients best interest in caring for them. Always brought a sense of calm in an emergency.
I have learned so much from her.
Our prayers are with you and the family during this time. Pray you sense God's presence with you and you feel His comfort, which is like no other.
Lovingly,
Dr. Michael and Kay Brown

Dr. Dagan was my husband´s cardiologist for quite a few years. We were sad when she retired. And, we are so saddened to hear of her passing. She was such a good, kind and compassionate doctor to Wayne!
