Nancy Lee Wagner peacefully departed this world on July 30, 2026, at her home in Crosslake, Minnesota, with her husband, Gordon, at her side.

Born to William and Wanda (Long) Bailie in Clarkfield, Minnesota, Nancy embraced life with a joyful heart and an unwavering spirit. She graduated from Moorhead High School in 1968, embarking on a journey that would lead her to touch many lives through her warmth and kindness.

On December 27, 1971, Nancy married the love of her life, Gordon Wagner, with whom she shared many cherished memories and countless adventures over their 55 years together. They built a loving family, and Nancy’s greatest pride were her children, Brett and Kelly. She created a nurturing home filled with laughter, love, and the joy of simple pleasures.

Nancy greatly enjoyed spending time with family and friends, whether it was enjoying the beauty of life at the lake, engaging in spirited card games, or sharing laughter over dice games. Her ability to bring people together and create lasting memories will forever be remembered.

She is survived by her husband Gordon Wagner; son Brett Wagner (Joe Zabel); daughter Kelly Hoyt (Cory); grandchildren Kelsey, Cullen, Kale, Kiyah; brothers Brad Bailie (Sandy), Lonnie Bailie (Vicki), Don Wagner (Roberta); sisters Robin Goble (David), Tamara Tabery (Dan Cihak), and Val Wagner; and various aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and cousins.
