Robert J. Wagner, Sr. of St. Anne's Retirement Community, was welcomed into the gates of heaven on June 6, 2024. He was born in Lancaster on March 4, 1935, to Conrad Wagner Sr. and Mary (Houser) Wagner. He will be remembered as the loving and devoted husband of Helen I. (Roby) Wagner for over 67 years.

At 17, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and proudly served his country during the end of the Korean conflict until September of 1955. He would spend his career as an upholsterer for Flexsteel Industries for over 48 years and was a longtime member of the Upholsterer's International Union Local 180. He was also a member of the American Legion Post 34.

Most importantly, Robert dedicated his life to his family and his faith. He was a longtime member of St. Mary's Catholic Church and later, St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church where he was an usher, eucharistic minister and participated in the men's club. After retirement he volunteered his time at St. Anne's Retirement Community. His faith played an integral part of his life and would recite the Holy Rosary daily. In his free time, Robert enjoyed dancing, camping with his family, and frequently reminisced of trips he took to Disney with his children and later, his grandchildren.

His love will live on in his wife Helen; children, Penny Daily, wife of the late Randy Daily of Strasburg, Robert Wagner, Jr., husband of Jennifer of Phoenixville, Jeffrey Wagner, husband of Lorainne of Quarryville, and Mary Evans, wife of Gregory of Denver, PA, 8 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren, who affectionately call him "Pop". He was preceded in passing by his grandson, Nicholas Wagner, and siblings, Louise Trimble, Elizabeth Bowman, Adeline Gaddis, and Conrad Wagner, Jr.
