Kim Renee Wagner

Kim Renee Wagner, 63, of Greenville, South Carolina, went to be with her Saviour, June 10, 2021, at her home following a fifteen-year battle with brain tumors. Born in Rockledge, Florida. Kim attended Bob Jones University, where she met her husband, John Wagner. She graduated in 1980 with a B.S. in Home Economics, and she and John were married in 1981. After the Lord called John to preach, they spent fourteen years in Orlando, Florida, and nineteen years in Columbia, South Carolina, where John pioneered two Free Presbyterian churches. Kim served faithfully by his side, a well-loved pastor’s wife, gracious hostess and skilled homemaker, loving mother of their seven children, doting grandmother of their eleven grandchildren, faithful prayer warrior, and dear friend of many on both sides of the Atlantic. Known for her sweet smile, cheerfulness, and great kindness to others even during great suffering, Kim loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all her heart. Throughout her illness, she cast herself on Christ and found Him sufficient for her every need. It was her stated wish to live out her days bringing honor and glory to Him alone. Her love for Him grew even as her weakness and disability increased. Kim prayed that the Lord would give her grace to finish her course with joy, and He answered that prayer. Kim is survived by her husband of forty years, John Wagner; her children, Rachael Wagner, Rhiannon (Joe) Poore, David (Teresa) Wagner, Rebecca (Randy) Davis, Johanna (Jared) Burr, Andrew Wagner, and Aaron Wagner; her mother, Carolyn Brown; her father, Bennie Tyree; her grandchildren, Connor and Kate Poore; Aiden and Charlotte Wagner; Landon, Colton, Kylie and Emersyn Davis; Kensley, Kaiyah, and Brooks Burr; and her brother, Ben Tyree. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 19th, at Faith Free Presbyterian Church, 1207 Haywood Road, Greenville, South Carolina, at 11 a.m. Prior to the service the family will receive friends beginning at 10 a.m. The interment will take place immediately following the service at Woodlawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to “Liberian Christian School Fund” c/o Faith Free Presbyterian Church 1207 Haywood Road, Greenville, SC, 29615.
