Wynona Wagner

May 12, 2015

Wynona Wagner, 89, of Pensacola, passed away May 7, 2015. She was born November 19, 1925, in Tonkawa, OK to Frank and Mildred Wilson. Because her father worked for an oil drilling company and followed the “oil booms”, she moved with her family eight times throughout Texas and New Mexico during her school years. Having acquired the lifelong skill of making friends, she truly never met a stranger and enjoyed a life filled with loving friendships.

She was an educator for 30 years in Odessa, Texas. In 2002, she moved to Pensacola to be closer to her daughter and son-in-law, Dan and Leslie Lovelace. She was also an avid crafter, painter, seamstress, quilter and ardent do-it-yourselfer. Her well remembered words, “I can make that” live on in her family. She leaves behind a legacy of love, learning, laughter, and generosity. She was an active member of the First Baptist Churches in Odessa and in Pensacola.

She is survived by her daughter, Leslie Willemin (Dan) Lovelace; granddaughter, Holly (Houston) Foster of Houston; grandson, Nathan (Candace) Lovelace of Mobile and five precious great-grandchildren, Helen, Heidi, and Harper Foster and Colt and Jake Lovelace.

Funeral services were held at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North on Monday, May 11, 2015, with Brother Clain Roberts of Immanuel Baptist Church in Pace will be officiating.

Faith Chapel Funeral Home North is in charge of arrangements.
