Beth Anne Eagan

Beth Anne Eagan, age 69, of Fort Wayne, Indiana and Wabash, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2026, due to complications from ALS. She was born December 5, 1956, in Akron, Ohio, to John G. Eagan (deceased) and Joanne M. Eagan (surviving).

Beth devoted her life to education, serving at Southwood HS in Wabash for 47 years before retiring in 2023. She prepared for that calling with a teaching degree from Wittenburg University and later earned her Master’s degree from Indiana University—an achievement that reflected her steady commitment to learning and to the work she valued.

A devoted aunt and a constant presence in the lives of those she loved, Beth especially cherished her nephews and took great joy in shopping for Christmas presents for the entire family. She was also a loyal sports fan, proudly supporting her alma mater Indiana University and cheering on the University of Notre Dame football team.

Beth is survived by her mother, Joanne; her sister, Bridget (William); her brother, Sean (Lori) Eagan; her nephews, Justin (Meghan) Dauer, Alexander (Laura ) Dauer, Shane (Kandi) Eagan, Joseph (Katrina ) Eagan, Liam Eagan, Conor Eagan, and Cullen Eagan; and eight great-nieces and great-nephews, Alice and Iris Dauer, Colette and Jack Dauer, Vayda, Maeve and Rex Eagan, and JJ Eagan.

Beth was preceded in death by her father, John Eagan, and her brother, Hugh Eagan.

The family would like to offer special thanks to the nurses and staff of Canterbury Nursing and Rehabilitation and Parkview Hospice.

Memorial contributions can be made to ALS Foundation and/or Parkview Hospice.

A Celebration of Life and Visitation will be held at a later date.
