Patricia Diane (Laney) Wagstrom, 80, of Beaver Falls, passed away peacefully on January 5th, 2026, at Lakeview Personal Care Home in Darlington, surrounded by her loving daughter and the compassionate caregivers who attended her.

She was born in Sewickley on March 10th, 1945, the beloved daughter of the late Robert L. Laney, Jr. and Margaret A. (Pethtel) Laney. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband and the father of her children, Robert Lenda, her beloved husband, Raymond Wagstrom and her brother, Robert L. Laney, III. She is survived by her loving children, Ellen Caputo (Gary) Young and David (Tracy) Lenda, her step-grandchildren, Madelene (Owen) North, Gage (Grace) Young, Kyle (Kaitlyn) Howe and Kacey Howe; as well as her cherished step great-grandchildren, Jolene and Wyatt. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Kristy Laney-Palitti, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will fondly remember her kindness and gentle spirit.

Patricia devoted her life to caring for others, both personally and professionally. She began her career as a registered nurse and later retired as a quality assurance specialist, always bringing compassion, diligence, and integrity to her work. She was a faithful and longtime member of Raccoon United Presbyterian Church in Aliquippa who shared her deep love of music through worship and playing the piano and organ for many years. Her musical gifts were cultivated at God’s Bible School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she majored in voice and developed the beautiful talent that would become a defining part of her life. She generously shared her voice with all who knew her. She sang with the Youngstown Symphony Chorus, performed at Carnegie Hall, toured throughout Europe, and more recently found great joy performing with the Sweet Adelines. Whether on a grand stage or among family and friends, her music was a heartfelt expression of her faith and love.

Friends will be received on Saturday, January 10th, from 10 a.m. until the time of the memorial service at 1 p.m. at GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREAMTION SERVICES, INC., 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls, who was in charge of her arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Diane’s honor to the Beaver County Humane Society, 3394 Brodhead Road, Aliquippa, PA 15001.

The family wishes to extend a heartfelt “Thank You” to the staff of Lakeview Personal Care, especially Sarah, Danielle, Misty, Carol and Eric, as well as Heartland Hospice nurses, Alyssa and Kayla, for their kind and compassionate care that was shown.
