Nancy Wagner

Born in Columbus, Ohio on July 25, 1934 to Ray and Ellen Hiland, who preceded her in death along with her brother, Jim, sister-in-law Julie, and niece Jackie (Hiland) House.

In 1954 her brother introduced her to his friend from church camp, Richard “Slip” Wagner and a beautiful love story started.

They are blessed with 5 granddaughters- Amanda (Paul) Kronk, Paige Wagner (Adam Love), Haley Wagner, Abbey Lucas, Kelsey Lucas (CJ Stahl) and three great-grandchildren, Keaton Love, and Remington and Amelia Kronk.

Nancy adored her granddaughters and delighted in taking care of them throughout their school years, and attending their sporting events and performances. She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews in whose lives she was very involved.
