Edward P. Magner

Dr. Edward Patrick "Chick" Magner, a dentist born in Washington, DC and living in Rockville, Maryland, died peacefully at home on July 8, 2025. He was 99 years old.
He was husband to the late Mary Ward Magner. He is survived by his three children, Margaret M. Magner, E. Patrick Magner (Margaret), and Mary Claire Hannan (Mark); and by his grandchildren Conor and Aileen Hannan, and Rosalie and Maggie Magner.
Dr. Magner was a proud graduate of Gonzaga College High School, serving on its Board of Trustees, and a member of the Gonzaga Alumni Hall of Fame. He attended Villanova University on the Navy V-12 program and is a graduate of Georgetown University and the Georgetown School of Dentistry.
He served his country in the Navy during World War II and as an Air Force forensic dentist serving in Asia during the 1950s.
For more than 35 years, he practiced dentistry in the same Northeast Washington, DC office where his father had practiced dentistry before him. His patients included many nuns, priests and religious brothers from the Washington area Catholic community.
Above all, Dr. Magner was devoted to his family, serving for years as a coach of athletic teams at St. Mary's School in Rockville, and showing his children and grandchildren the importance of family, service, education and an active life.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, August 8 at St. Mary's Church, 520 Veirs Mill Road, Rockville, Maryland. Interment will be private.
