Bertilla Wagner, age 94, of Waunakee passed away on Monday, Dec 18, 2017 at New Perspective in Sun Prairie. She now joins her husband Joe, and our Lord in heaven for Christmas. Bertilla was born in Waunakee on March 28, 1923 to Mathias and Susan (Maerz) Maier.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Some of her most precious moments were found spending time on the family farm, where wonderful memories were made. Faith, family and friends were most important to her.

Bertilla's family would like to thank Agrace HospiceCare for their compassion and wonderful care.
"It is so difficult to fully express all of the qualities that made you who you were. No matter where you were, or who you met, your infectious positivity and trademark smile touched so many and made a significant, lasting impact on their lives."
"You loved us, inspired us, and made us smile...for that and so much more...thank you! We love you and will miss you!"
