Mabel S. Jagnow, formerly of Williamson, NY died May 15, 2024, at 102 years old.
She was born in Williamson, NY; the daughter of the late Isaac and Sarah (Hendricks) Hoevenaar. During the World War II Era, Mabel worked as a Registered Nurse having graduated from the Genessee Hospital, Rochester, NY School of Nursing. She was past employed in both private duty nursing and in the public sector with a doctor’s private practice. Mabel was a devoted and loving wife to her husband of 69 years Bill Jagnow until his death in 2015. Together they lived and raised a family in a lovely little house in which Mabel was very particular and caring about the upkeep. Mrs. Jagnow took immense pride in caring for her family and showered them in love through her cooking, cleaning, gardening and sewing projects. Mabel had a “green thumb” which was evident in her flourishing flower and vegetable gardens which attracted all kinds of birds and were enjoyed by both friends and family. Mabels greatest endeavor was raising her daughter Judy and teaching her many valuable life skills. Her family and pet dogs always brought her great happiness. Through the years Mabel continued to live a simple and dignified life having also been a 2x cancer survivor.
