Marjorie Ann Wagner (Osborn) passed away peacefully on March 19, 2026, with her loving husband by her side. Born a farmer's daughter to Louise and Stanley Osborn in Arkport, NY in 1939, she carried with her a lifelong appreciation for hard work, humility, and community. Those early roots shaped the woman she became: strong in faith, devoting her life to learning, service, and above all, to people.

After graduating from SUNY Geneseo, she went on to become a beloved math teacher in Springville and West Valley, NY, touching generations of students not only through education, but also through encouragement, kindness, and genuine care. Long after she left the classroom, former students, pastors, and friends continued to share stories of how she had influenced their lives, something she was deeply grateful to hear firsthand.

Her commitment to service extended well beyond her profession. She spent many years actively involved in organizations close to her heart, including 4-H as both a member and a leader, Monday Club, Delta Kappa Gamma, the Library Board, and numerous church boards and community organizations in both West Valley and Arkport. In each role, she gave freely of her time, her energy, and her steady presence.

She was best known, however, for the roles she cherished most: loving wife to Lewie for nearly 55 years, incredible mother to Lucinda and Corry VanCassele and Will and Amie Wagner, and the proudest Nonny to Natalie, Addie, Teagan, Rylan, and Braden. Her family extends to Norway and Italy, with "foreign exchange sons" Dag and Massimo. It was evident that her family was her greatest joy, and she poured her love into them without measure.

Marge had a gift for connection. Whether through a phone call, a handwritten card, or a batch of her well-known cookies, she found ways to brighten days and make people feel remembered. Serving others came naturally to her, it was simply who she was.

She also shared her love of the Buffalo Bills with her family, making us all lifelong stubborn optimists; never giving up and believing "there's always next year".

Marge was preceded in death and welcomed in Heaven by her strong and loving parents, Louise and Stanley Osborn. She is survived by her brothers, Bob (Judy) Osborn and Carlton (Joyce) Osborn; her in-laws, Carl and Sarah Wagner; and many beloved nieces and nephews who will miss her deeply.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, built through quiet acts of service, steadfast relationships, and a life spent lifting others. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who were blessed enough to know her.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in memory of Marge to the Arkport Public Library, PO Box 1028, Arkport, NY 14807 or an organization of your choice.
