Lou Anne Wagelie of Warsaw, Missouri, passed away on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at The Neighborhoods Skilled Nursing Center in Columbia, Missouri.
Lou Anne was born on February 7, 1931 in Alliance, Nebraska. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dewight E. Wagelie and her parents, Anne E. and Ernest C. Patton. She is survived by her brother, Donald D. Patton (Linda), by her two nieces, Lara Andrews (Todd), Krista Patton and three grand nephews, Kingston, Wilder and Crew. She is also survived by her loving partner, Harold Covington and his children, Houston, Joe and Deanna Covington, along with his numerous grandchildren.
Lou Anne grew up in Alliance, Nebraska and moved to Missouri after her marriage to Dewight in February of 1948. Her husband’s job took them to several towns in Missouri and Texas until they settled down in Columbia, MO, where they resided until their retirement. They retired to Sycamore Valley near Warsaw, MO. in the early nineties and she remained there until her passing.
LouAnne was many things: honest, earnest, loyal, generous. She was also courageously strong, tough as nails and as feisty as they come. She was always fun to be around and full of laughter.
Above all, she was loved. She will be greatly missed.
A committal service will be live streamed Friday, May 15th at 2pm on the Memorial Funeral Home, Crematory & Memorial Park Cemetery Columbia Facebook Page.
