Anton (Tony) V. Wangler, 87, passed away on November 5, 2024 at St. Catherine South in Fargo, ND after battles with Parkinson’s.
Anton Wangler was the oldest child of eleven born on November 10, 1936 to Valentine Sr. and Mary (Wald) Wangler on the family farm near Kintyre, ND. Tony met Lucy Frohlich at a dance at the Blue Room in Strasburg, ND. They were later married on May 3, 1958 at St. Anne’s Catholic Church, Bismarck. They moved to a farmstead northwest of Wishek, ND where they farmed until November 2013, when they moved to CHI Riverview Assisted Living in Fargo. Lucy died in 2017. Tony was a dedicated, hardworking farmer and cattle rancher. He especially took pride in his herd. Tony was a kind-hearted person and was an amazing caregiver for his wife Lucy. He enjoyed being around family and friends and always liked a good laugh. Tony was active in his faith, helped build their church in Burnstad, ND and taught CCD classes. He also served on the Wishek School Board. He enjoyed playing cards as well as hosting many family reunions on the farm and most years would host a 4th of July party.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Jay and Cindy Frohlich
I am keeping your family in prayer and thought as you go through this time of remembrance of a dear and loved one. May God bless the memory of Tony and give you peace. I will be joining in with streaming the prayer service and funeral rite. Peace.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am in AZ right now with my sister so am unable to attend the service. I remember going to Little Falls for celebrations & your parents would be there & I would enjoy visiting with them. We were cousins but there was 25 years difference in age so we didn’t get to know each other until much later in life at those celebrations. Mary Lou
I am keeping the Anton Wangler family in thought and prayer as you all go through this difficult time. I watched the tribute video and found it is a wonderful representation of his life. I will not be able to attend the services, but I will be with you in spirit. May God bless all the memories you’ve made with Tony and may God bless his memory. Erica Wangler
