Anna Mae Jones Wagaman, 103, formerly of Lancaster, went home to be with her Lord on Monday, March 12, 2018 at Pleasant View Retirement Community, after a short illness. Anna was born in Lebanon County to William and Nora (Ulrich) Jones on April 5, 1914, the oldest of nine children. She worked at the silk mill in Annville, Consolidated Cigar in Lancaster, and in the cafeteria of Nathan Schaeffer Elementary School. Family was the most important thing in her life. She was pre-deceased by her husband, E. Linwood “Bud” Wagaman, in 1977. Their only child, Joyce Wagaman Fultz (Merrill), passed away in 2010. Anna is survived by a granddaughter, Linda Nauman (Steve), and a grandson, Thomas Fultz (Paula). She is also survived by four great grandchildren – Jeffrey Nauman, Jennifer Lamoreaux (John), Nicole Nauman, and Amanda Budovec (Greg), as well as six great-great grandchildren – Anna Nauman, Claire Nauman, Payton Budovec, Kasey Budovec, Chase Budovec, and Kylie Budovec. She also leaves behind a sister, Judith Gibbons, and numerous nieces and nephews. Everybody who knew Anna was impacted by their time spent with her. Anna was an amazing cook! Her soups were the best around, along with her baked beans, pot pie, and candied sweet potatoes. Many people were fans of her coffee cake and strawberry pies. She was a big fan of the Phillies. People were always astounded by her amazing memory! Anna was a member of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in East Petersburg. The family wishes to thank the staff of Pleasant View, especially the rehab unit and 500, for the excellent care and love that they showed Anna for the last three years.
A viewing will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 PM on Monday evening, March 19, 2018 at Pleasant View Retirement Community, 544 N Penryn Rd, Manheim, PA 17545.

March 19, 2018 at 2:50 pmI loved my times with anna and she will on in my heart forever. She always asked about my husband and my dogs. Anna knew I have such a love for the animals and would hope she would understand that I cannot make her service. I am helping an owner try to recover his dog who has been missing for 3 weeks. I know I will be doing this rescue in annas honor. To the family-you were her rock as she was yours and she beemed every time she could report a new baby!!!
