Margaret Wagner Kellogg died on March 3, 2024, at the age of 91. She was born in Hollywood on October 24, 1932, the second daughter of Carroll Marshall and Marion Black Wagner, of Los Angeles, California. At the time of her death, she was a resident of Casa de las Campanas in Rancho Bernardo, California.
After attending Marlborough School for Girls, she graduated from the University of California, Berkeley (Class of 1954), where she was a member of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, and achieved Phi Beta Kappa distinction.
Margaret is preceded in death by her husband, Edward S. “Ned” Kellogg, III, who served as a Naval submarine captain and as an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of San Diego.
Married for 59 Years, they made their home in many states: Hawaii, California, Connecticut, New York, Idaho, Virginia, and Washington, DC. She fully embraced her role as a supportive Navy wife and mother, and volunteered in every church or community where they resided.
After Ned’s retirement from the Navy, the couple settled in Point Loma in 1984, and Margaret embarked on a career as a medical transcriptionist at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego. They moved to the retirement community of “Casa” in 2008.
Margaret is survived by three children: Stephen Kellogg (Ann Lindsey) of Burbank, California; Joyce Fischer Baird (Rodger Baird) of Escondido, California; and Carolyn Kellogg Davis (Jim Davis) of Seabeck, Washington. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren: Thomas Kellogg and Phoebe Kellogg; Stephanie Fischer Wilhite, Jenn Fischer Price, John Fischer, Mark Fischer, Rory Baird, and Nathan Baird; and Hope Davis, Joy Davis, and Drew Davis; and 7 great-grandchildren.
In addition to her family, her passions included playing tennis; reading; playing Scrabble or Rummikub; sending and receiving annual Christmas cards; spending time in the sunshine at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club; and a lifelong love of ... ducks!
Interment at Saint Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Poway, is planned for a later date, immediate family only. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations may be made to Casa de Las Campanas Special Care Residence, Elizabeth Hospice, or St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church.
