  Ethel M. Wagner 
   
  Ethel M. Wagner LEBANON Ethel Marie (Ackerman) Wagner, 95, formerly of 
  Collegeville, passed away at Cornwall Manor, Cornwall, Lebanon Co., on 
  Saturday. Born in Tamaqua on May 2, 1914, she was a daughter of the late Joseph 
  and Mary (Mokher) Ackerman. Ethel received her R.N. from Woman's Medical 
  College in 1937 and went on to complete her B.S. at the University of 
  Pennsylvania and West Chester University. After teaching nursing arts at 
  Woman's Medical College, she devoted her career to public school nursing in the 
  Perkiomen Valley School District. On Christmas Eve, 1938, she married Paul R. 
  Wagner of Tamaqua, and moved with him to Collegeville, where he taught in the 
  science department of Ursinus College until his death in 1970. Ethel was a 
  loyal and active member of Trinity Reformed Church, United Church of Christ, 
  Collegeville, and delighted in the seasonal activities and celebrations. Upon 
  her retirement in 1979, she traveled extensively, including a four-month stint 
  in Vellore, India, as a medical volunteer through the United Church of Christ. 
  She served on the U.C.C. Board of Global Ministries and was treasurer of the 
  U.C.C. Penn Southeast Conference Board of Christian Concern which oversees the 
  operation of Jefferson Apartments, W. Norriton Twp. She was a charter member 
  and past president of the Delta Kappa Society International, Beta Mu chapter. 
  She loved time spent with family over a table of board games, and with friends 
  over a hand of bridge. Uniquely blessed with a vivacious spirit, sense of 
  humor, and love of people, she made many deep and abiding friendships 
  throughout her life. Ethel was preceded in death by her beloved husband Paul 
  and all six of her siblings. She is survived by two daughters, Mary 
  Henrietta 'Holly' Mai, of Burley, Idaho, and Karen Margaret Wagner of Hastings-
  on-Hudson, N.Y.; two grandchildren, Michele Anne Widmier of Rupert, Idaho, and 
  Shawn Paul Mai of Albion, Idaho; three greatgrandchildren, Kolby and Trey 
  Widmier of Rupert, Idaho, and Samantha Mai of Albion, Idaho; and two step great-
  grandchildren, Benjamin and Zachary Friedrichsen of Albion, Idaho. The funeral 
  service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, February 15, 2010, at Trinity 
  Reformed Church, U.C.C., 532 Main St., Collegeville, with the Rev. Dr. Martha 
  B. Kriebel, Pastor, officiating. Burial will follow in the Odd Fellows 
  Cemetery, Tamaqua. Friends may call from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Monday at church. A
