Ann Katharine (Magers) McGlinn, 89, of The Highlands at Wyomissing, PA, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 8, 2021. It was time to move onto brighter days surrounded by loved ones who are rolling out the red carpet for her in Heaven. She was the beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend to so many.
She was born to the late Louis and Dorothy (Wagner) Magers in Tiffin, OH, where she took her kids, piled in a station wagon, every summer. She went to Calvert High School and St. Mary of the Springs (now Ohio Dominican University) in Columbus, OH. She met her late husband, John F. (Jack) McGlinn Jr., through their college roommates. She waited while Jack served in the Korean War and then they were married and settled in Berks County.
She spent her adult life taking care of everyone else. She raised six children with Jack, her beloved husband of 61 years. When the last of her children were in college, Ann went to work for Doug Fisher at Discoveries in downtown Reading and loved every minute of being a working woman. She retired and moved to Naples, Florida to play golf and visit family and friends all over our beautiful country and beyond. And her golf game… she became straight and steady, symbolic of the life she gave all those around her.
She was a supporter of so many causes, from the Holy Name High School Extravaganza fundraiser, to making sleeping mats for the homeless at The Highlands, she was always lending a hand. She loved her family, her "Chatty Crafters" girlfriends and her many life-long friends.
Ann is survived by her sister and brother-in-law MaryLou and Warren Cummings, sister-in-law Betty Anne McGlinn-Strobel, six children: Michael (Donna) of Greenfields; Katharine Reynolds (Rick) of Marietta GA; Susan Mueller (Jack) of Park City UT; Dorothy McGlinn Imbody (Keith) of Mohnton; Ann McGlinn-Work (Gene) of Hypoluxo Island FL; and John F McGlinn III (Lisa) of Chapel Hill NC and 13 grandchildren: Meghan (Ricky), Elizabeth and Matthew McGlinn; Doug and Jimmy Reynolds; Jackson (Jess), Carly (Brendan), Andie and Brett Mueller; Sean Imbody; John, Ryan and Dylan McGlinn as well as three great-grandchildren: Jake, Finley and Lochlan Mueller.
The family would like to thank everyone at The Highlands at Wyomissing for their compassionate care of our mother.
