Neva M. Hagberg

Neva was born April 22, 1924, in Lander, Pa., the daughter of the late John S. Mills and Olga J. Trask Mills. She was a 1942 graduate of Lander High School and attended the Hoff Business College. She worked for Dr. Valone as a medical secretary for 32 years and for Dr. Walters as a bookkeeper.

Neva was the oldest lifetime member of the Lander United Methodist Church, where she held many offices and served as the church secretary for many years. She was a member of the United Methodist Women. Neva was proud of the fact that she never missed a single Lander High School Alumni reunion. She also trained to be a peer representative at Cambridge of Warren.
