Wagner, Anna E. “Lil”

(nee Martin), fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, Saturday, March 7, 2009. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, on December 10, 1913.

Beloved wife of the late Frank E. Wagner, dear mother of Robert (Anita), Kathy (Harold), and Mary (Glen); dear mother-in-law, sister, grandmother, aunt, great-aunt, great-great aunt and a treasured friend and formidable Rummikub partner to many.

Mother worked hard, loved fiercely but quietly and, in keeping with Mother’s spirit that “we are only put on this earth to help one another,” she donated her body to science at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

The family wishes to give special thanks to the nurses at SSM Hospice, Dorthella Tharpe and Sherry Massey of Martha’s Hands, to Mother’s long-time friends Helen Feldt and Hal Myers who were always there for her and, to Fr. Doyle of St. Michael’s Church, who visited every week with the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
