WAGNER, Janie "Mimi"

Janie "Mimi" Wagner, passed suddenly on May 31, 2008, at her home in Lago Vista, 
Texas, after a full life of delivering joy to those around her. The story of her 
life began on Halloween 1925, where she grew up in Somerset, as Frances Roberta 
Walter, with her two brothers, who spent most of their time keeping her out of 
trouble. Mimi was a role model for how to live life. She moved with grace, class 
and kindness in everything she did, and her presence lit up the rooms she 
dwelled in. In 1950, she married Joseph Wagner of Central City, and together 
they shared 55 years together. She lived all over the world and her spirit 
touched everyone along the way. Active in her community, she served on the Lago 
Vista school board and throughout her life she participated in organizations 
that promoted education and the support of the nation's military. She is 
survived by her brother, Jack Walter, Pittsburgh; daughter, Penny Zabriskie; 
granddaughter, Shannon MacKay and husband, Ron MacKay; and great-granddaughter, 
Hailey MacKay, all of Austin, and a herd of cats, dogs and a deer. There will be 
a memorial service held at 2 p.m. Thursday at the First United Methodist Church, 
Round Rock, Texas. Memorial contributions, in lieu of flowers, can be made to 
Lago Vista PAWS, P.O. Box 4100, Lago Vista, Texas 78645 (www.lvpaws.org). Please
