Anna Wagner

Anna Leona Wagner, 92, of Keota, passed away Thursday, March 23, 2017, at Spiro Nursing Home. She was born Sept. 22, 1924, in Kinta to Isaac and Fannie (Burns) Upton.
Anna grew up at Kinta and it is where she was educated. She married Dolphus Lamb on July 15, 1939.
Anna lived a long life and enjoyed her involvement in the country schools and churches her family attended as they grew up. Her home was the gathering place for the neighborhood children. She served as everyone’s mother; packing a lunch and chauffeuring the whole team to an event and enjoying every minute of it.
She was an excellent seamstress and could be counted on to whip up a wedding dress for a friend or uniforms for the whole basketball team. She was very independent and never feared a challenge.
Anna spent the last few years in the Spiro Nursing Home where she considered her caregivers her family. She spent her life helping others and she will certainly be missed by all her family and friends.
Anna is survived by her daughter, Wilma Clyma and husband Butch of Keota; her son, Charles Lamb and wife Leah of Fresno, Calif.; eight grandchildren, DeLayne Harris and husband Mike of Keota, Robbin Ann Lamb of Mountainburg, Ark., Angela Dutcher of Salinas, Calif., Kathy Pair of Madera, Calif., Douglas Oxford of Keota, B.J.
