Isabel Dorothy Wagner
July 24, 1926 – January 28, 2026 - Age 99

Isabel Dorothy Wagner of Mahone Nursing Home, Mahone Bay, passed away peacefully at the age of 99. Born on July 24, 1926, in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Isabel lived a long and meaningful life rooted in family and community.
A proud graduate of Normal College in Truro, Isabel dedicated her career to education. She began teaching in her home community of Upper Northfield and continued to shape young minds in Upper Branch, West Northfield, Hebbville, Middlewood, and Bridgewater (Riverview).
Outside the classroom, Isabel embraced life with curiosity and enthusiasm. She enjoyed word searches, crosswords, and jigsaw puzzles, and could often be found bowling, fishing, crafting, or heading out on bus trips and travels. An outdoors enthusiast, she also enjoyed hunting—always bringing a sense of adventure to whatever she pursued.
Isabel was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Perle Wagner; her parents, Dorothy (Randall) and Archibald Ramey; and her brother, Garth Ramey.
She is lovingly remembered by her children, Philip Wagner (Jan) and Dale Wagner (Josie); her grandchildren, Troy Wagner (Tracy) and Nikole Wagner; and her great-grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Jenna, and Reagan. Isabel’s legacy lives on through her family, who will forever cherish her strength, and gentle humor.
Service arrangements have been entrusted to R.A. Corkum Funeral Home Ltd. A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, February 4 at 11:00AM at R.A. Corkum Funeral Home in Wileville with a reception to follow at The Royal Canadian Legion in Bridgewater. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of choice.
The family would like to extend a thank you to the staff of the Blue Lupine Wing at Mahone Nursing Home (MacLeod Cares) and to Dr. Raymond for their kind and compassionate care.
