It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Arthur ³Art² Wagner, age 84, on Monday, March 31, 2014, at the Palliser Regional Care Centre, Swift Current, SK. Art was born on April 7, 1929, in the Neidpath area, to Tina & Gottlieb Wagner, the youngest of seven children. When he was sixteen, he moved to Swift Current and started working in construction and continued until age 55. He then started working as a shop foreman at the Ability Centre until he retired at age 65.
Art married Frances Van on December 29, 1951. They were blessed with two children, a daughter, Shannon (Bob Heffer), a son, Tracy (Trina) Wagner and two grandchildren, Kia and Jessie. Art enjoyed working on vehicles, being outside in the summertime, gopher hunting and camping in his many van¹s. Dad will be dearly missed by family and friends.
Art¹s wishes were to have a Private Graveside Memorial Service for his immediate family at the Hillcrest Cemetery in Swift Current, SK. In memory of Art Wagner, donations made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
