Pam Wagner obituary

Lifted up on the wings of eagles and angels to slip the surly bonds of earth and touch the face of her Heavenly Father.
Pamela Rae Wagner (Storing), age 66, of Lake City, Minnesota passed peacefully in her sleep from this world on Holy Thursday, April 2, 2026 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born on July 18, 1959 in St. Paul, Minnesota to Charles Edward Storing and Carole Joanne Storing (Kukuzke), she lived a life dedicated to family, friends and community. She worked for nearly 30 years at the Lake City Care Center as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Trained Medical Aide. Her greatest joy was in providing care and comfort to the residents of the care center, many of whom were family of her classmates and friends.
Pam was a veteran serving in the US Army from 1982-1986 as a flight coordinator with helicopter units at Camp Humphries in South Korea and Fort Rucker, Alabama.
She married Daniel (Dan) Wagner on October 6, 1990 on the bluffs of Frontenac State Park overlooking her beloved Lake Pepin and Lake City. For 28 years they lived on a farm near Millville where they farmed and raised their son Christopher (Chris) Wagner. In 2018 they moved to a house overlooking Lake Pepin in Lake City and Pam retired in 2022. She enjoyed reading, watching movies, boat rides, life on the lake and walks on the lakeshore. She especially enjoyed the opportunity to babysit her grandnieces and grandnephews and watch them grow.
Pam was a nurturing and dedicated wife and mother. She was known for a warm, welcoming home for family, friends and neighbors. She took immense joy in her son Chris and in helping him grow and navigate life. As a dedicated farmer she helped Dan and Chris plant hundreds of trees, build ponds, fix miles of fence and maintain a 40 head cow/calf operation of Black Angus cattle.
She is survived by her husband Dan of Lake City and her son Chris and daughter- in-law Trish of Monroe, Connecticut; her siblings Scott and Lynn Storing of Red Wing, Bob and Vicky Storing of Lake City, Linda and Randy Wilson of Lake City, Vicki and Gary Schmidt of Lake City, Barbie Storing of Lake City, and James and Sherry Storing of Oshkosh, Wisconsin; and her beloved nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews who will forever be in her heart.
She was preceded in death by her parents Chuck and Carole Storing, maternal grandparents Carl and Alta Kukuzke, paternal grandparents Dorothy Storing (Schwirtz), Ralph, and Emma Schwirtz.
A celebration of life will be held later this summer at Hok-Si-La Park in Lake City in the pavilion where Pam and Dan held their wedding reception in 1990.
