Mary Magdalene Hagen, age 86, of Coleman, formerly of Timmonsville, SC, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 7, 2024, under the care of MyMichigan Hospice.

Mary was born on June 26, 1937, in Alcolu, South Carolina, daughter of Paul and Ellen (McCall) Rodgers. Mary became a registered nurse and worked in the healthcare field for many years. After leaving her medical career, Mary found her true passion in the service industry. Mary was a devoted bartender for many years and could put a smile on anyone’s face. Her patrons were very dear to her, as she was to them. Mary enjoyed traveling, going on cruises, and even traveled to China several times. She also enjoyed time spent cooking, going out to eat, crocheting, and reading. Her care for others will always be remembered and cherished.


Mary is survived by her daughter, Kathy (John) Waterman of Coleman, Debbie (John) Strike of Rochester, MN, and Sue (Dave) Stevens of Birmingham, AL; five grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; two sisters, Ann (Ralph) McKay of Timmonsville, SC, and Lu Richards of TImmonsville, SC; and many nieces and nephews.  

Mary was preceded in death by parents; two brothers, Roy and Leon Rodgers; sisters, Tina Mixon and Ada Creamer; grandson, Graham Waterman; and two infant granddaughters, Deanna and Amanda Ridens. 

Per Mary’s wishes, cremation has taken place and no services are planned at this time.​
