Mamie Louise Wagner

She was born on the BarJH Ranch just south of Hanover, Colorado on February 20, 1930 to Joe and Mamie Boice (Elmore). She was the second youngest of 11 children and lovingly nicknamed Sparky. Mamie, along with her brothers and sisters attended the Lone Star School on the BarJH Ranch, now known as the Chico Basin Ranch. Before moving to Downtown Colorado Springs, the Boice family lived on the Douglas Ranch, nestled between Glen Eyrie and the Flying W. Ranch. They made many joyful memories on the ranches her father managed for the Drinkard and Emmert Cattle Co. Mamie attended the Lone Star School, Woodman Roberts School and Colorado Springs HS.

In 1947 Mamie married William Eugene Wagner, beginning their married life in the Conejos Neighborhood in Colorado Springs. They had 6 children, 2 sons and 4 daughters.

Mamie committed her life to Christ in 1954 and lived as a devout Christian. She was the foundation of her family, a devoted single mother and homemaker, her Christian values guiding her in raising her family. She dedicated her life to caring for and serving others, an unwavering example of loving thy neighbor in the name of Christ.
