Lorene "Sue" Wagner

Lorene "Sue" Wagner, known to family and friends as Sue, died on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at the age of 85. She had lived most recently in Worcester, Pennsylvania, and had also spent parts of her life in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania, Lake Norman, North Carolina, and Port St. Lucie, Florida.

She was born on June 26, 1941, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Glenn and Margaret (Sendel) Laudenberger. She had a twin brother, William Laudenberger, who survives her. Sue was not a public figure in the conventional sense of politics, entertainment, or sport; she was a private citizen whose life was built around her family and her community, and her passing is being marked through the kind of obituary and funeral home notice that records a life well lived close to home.

For many years, Sue worked with her family's business, Sensor Services, Inc. Outside of work, she was known for her enjoyment of card games, particularly pinochle and canasta, and for the pleasure she took in traveling the world by cruise ship with her husband. She was also drawn to crafting and ceramics, hobbies that filled her time at home and reflected a life oriented toward creativity and connection with others.

Sue was married twice. Her first husband, Ronald Wieand, died in 1972. She later married James Wagner, who died in 2020. She is survived by her children, Donna L. Birdsell of Skippack and Thomas C. Wieand of Fountain, Michigan, as well as her step-daughter Bonnie Wagner of Yorktown, Virginia. She was also a grandmother to six grandchildren and a great-grandmother to two great-grandchildren.

Her death was reported through an obituary notice from Huff and Lakjer Funeral Home in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, which is handling her services. The family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made in her memory to the Meadowood Benevolent Fund in Lansdale. As of this writing, no cause of death has been made public, and details of any memorial service beyond the funeral home's arrangements have not yet been widely announced.

Sue Wagner's life was not defined by public acclaim but by the steady work of family, business, and community that many people recognize in their own lives and in the lives of those they love. Her death leaves behind a network of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a twin brother who mourn her loss, and a community obituary that stands as a record of a woman who valued family, friendship, travel, and craft.
