Wanda Ragle Obituary
She was born in Anderson on June 14, 1934 to Edward and Elsie (Fox) Stohler.
She was a homemaker, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She loved people and was a family person. She will be greatly missed by all. Her life and testimony proved true, anyone she came in contact with she always was talking to them about her Lord, even in her last days.
She attended the Old Fashion Pilgrim Holliness Church and the North Anderson Church of God.
Survivors include her husband of 51 years, Bill Ragle, Sr., two sons, Kenneth Ragle and Bill (wife, Susan) Ragle, Jr., sister, Freda Robeton all of Anderson.; two grandsons, Brian Ragle and Eric (wife, Dana) Ragle; three great grandchildren, Allie, Christian and Gracie all of Tennessee.; brother-in-law, James Rigney and several nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents; four sisters and their spouses, Ada and Bob Chapin, Hazel and Raymond Shrock, Pearl and Gordon Mott and Edna Rigney; two brothers, Floyd and Gertie Stohler and Robert Stohler and special friends, Rev. Roy and Esther Norton.
The family would like to thank Dr. Eddy and staff, especially Maggie and Teresa and hospice nurses Liz, Carla, Heather and Jean and North Anderson Church of God for everything and thanks to her niece, Virginia Stinson for all her help.
Services will be 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Brown-Butz-Diedring Funeral Home with Rev. Jim Lyon officiating. Burial will be in Pleasant Walk Cemetery.
Visitation will be 4-8 p.m. Monday at the funeral home.

Wanda was such a friendly person who loved the Lord. She was always so nice and treated you just like family. Even if you hadn't seen her for a while she always wanted to hug you and asked how you were doing. She will be greatly missed but I'm glad to know she's one of the ones waiting for us in Heaven. God Bless the entire family and may His perfect grace comfort you all.

Bill and I went by your grave yesterday afternoon and the prettiest Robin was sitting there singing. You know, it was absolutely beautiful and a fitting tribute. You are missed. We love you.

Grandma, you'll never guess what has happened, but I'm thinking you already know. I miss you terribly, and think about you often. You were the perfect example of a grandma, and we all love you. You will always be missed, and one day we will see you again.

Growing up with her as my grandmother, it was easy to see her only in that light. A woman who could never let me just sit there without something to eat in my hands, hers was a life marked by how much she cared for those around her. Yet, she had a rich and full life, with adventures probably no one will ever know about. I will miss her deeply but am grateful that she is no longer in pain, that her final passage from this life is over. Eternal peace, Ma-Ma.
