Beverly Ann Wagner, 78, of Traverse City, Michigan, was welcomed into heaven in the early morning of October 13, 2022. She was born on June 25, 1944, the daughter of Louis and Elsie (Franks) Otto.

Beverly lived a life of love for her family and her God. Together with the love of her life, and husband of 62 years, Robert Wagner, she raised four beautiful children.

All through her life, Beverly was a woman of deep and genuine love.
