Dolores "Dee" Wagner

Dolores “Dee” Wagner, 91, died peacefully at home in Newburgh, Indiana on March 6, 2025. 

She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to the late Joseph and Josephine (Musso) Marks. Dee worked as a nurse for many years, and her caring and compassionate nature touched the lives of her patients. She was a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. Dee loved spending time with her family, both locally and in New Orleans. An avid NFL fan, Dee was an even greater fan of every member of her family. Through the years, she could be found at many Castle events cheering on her grandchildren in all their activities.
