The Friends of the Mount Union Library and MUCL volunteers
extend their sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Jane Wagner.
Jane passed away at her home on Sunday, August 4th.
She was instrumental in the formation of our library and cataloged our collection starting in 2011 when we first opened (in our current volunteer-run incarnation).
Jane has actively been involved in MUCL over the years serving as a Board member, volunteering at the circulation desk,
and performing so many services that helped keep our library open.
She will be missed by all.
Jane's obituary (from the Daily News, edited) appears below:
Jane L. Wagner, 70, of Mount Union, passed away at 6:15 p.m. on Sunday August 4, 2019 at her home.
