Greta J. Wagner Slagle of Delta Township went to be with the Lord March 14, 2018 surrounded by her loving family. Greta was born June 23, 1928 in Lake Odessa, Michigan to the late LeRoy W. and Zelpha F. (Stout) Clark. Greta graduated from Lake Odessa High School Class of 1945 and continued her education at Michigan State University where she received her Masters and Educational Specialist Degrees.

She started teaching kindergarten, elementary and Title I programs in Grand Ledge and Waverly School Districts. Greta then worked with the Eaton Intermediate School District as a School Psychologist. She enjoyed golfing for many years, especially during her years in Florida. She also loved playing her organ, which holds especially fond memories for her grandchildren. She shared her enjoyment of sewing, knitting, and cross-stitch with her family and had built extensive information on the family’s genealogy. Greta loved spending time with her grandchildren at all ages, and devoted much time and love to those relationships. She is survived by her children, Gregory (Bernice) Wagner, Douglas (Annette) Wagner, Carol Wagner; step-children, Barry Slagle, Timothy (Connie) Slagle and Jonathan (Anne) Slagle; grandchildren, Corey, Stefani, Jacob, Benjamin, Blair, Laurel, Zachary, Lauran, AdriAnne, Elizabeth, Christopher, Melissa and Alie, and great grandson, Leo.

Because Greta was blessed with a long and full life filled with many interests, the family welcomes contributions to a charity of the donor's choice, with possible areas of focus on education, Michigan State University, genealogy, medical areas, hospice, and nursing.
