Obituary for PATRICIA IRENE SAGER
Patricia Irene Sager, 92, of Shag Lake, Gwinn and former Negaunee resident, passed away late Thursday evening, August 22, 2019 at the Marquette County Medical Care Facility.
Pat was born February 27, 1927 in Schoolcraft Township to John and Hilja (Hirvela) Kus and graduated from Lake Linden High School. She was united in marriage to the late Kenneth Sager and they moved to Negaunee where they raised their family.
