Marta Lynn WAGNER Obituary (1961

It is with a heavy heart we share the passing of our mother Marta Lynn Wagner. Born Marta Pendleton on November 29th 1961 in Yakima Wa. She was the fourth and youngest child to Willard and Mary Pendleton. It is in Yakima where Marta would be raised alongside her siblings Janice, Phyllis and Michael. Marta attended and graduated from Eisenhower Highschool Class of 1980. She would go on to meet our father; the love of her life Robert Wagner on August 31st 1984 in a hotel nightclub in Yakima. My father describes this night as "I knew the moment I saw her" kind of connection and after a short courtship they were married on April 6th 1985 at West Valley Church of Nazarene. Marta enjoyed making memories and going on adventures with her family like camping trips, concerts and family vacations. The Wagner and Pendleton families never missed an opportunity to celebrate holidays together with lots of food, games, music and good conversation. Our mom spent much of her working years at Albertsons/Safeway where she spoke fondly of so many people she knew and friends she made along the way. Mom always had a song in her heart, a dance in her step, and a smile on her face. The loss of Marta who was a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend and wife is deeply felt by those who knew and loved her. Marta joined her parents Willard and Mary in heaven alongside a few close family members on Saturday July 6th 2024 shortly before midnight. Marta is survived by her daughters Jaclyn and Kristina Wagner, her siblings Janice Pendleton, Phyllis Allaire, Michael Pendleton and the love of her life Robert Wagner. She also leaves behind many cousins, nieces and nephews, brother & sister in-laws.
