Blake and Wagler Funeral Home

09/01/2025

With summer coming to a close and students heading back to school, we want to take a minute to thank our amazing summer intern, Sydnee Wittmer!

Sydnee has been a caring, respectful, and compassionate presence in our funeral home. With a true heart for serving others, she’s been a wonderful addition to our team these past few months.

A 2024 graduate of Loogootee High School, Sydnee is now entering her second year at Vincennes University, where she’s pursuing an Associate of Science degree to become a licensed Funeral Director.

We’re so proud of the work she’s done and grateful for the time she spent with us this summer. Sydnee has gained valuable hands-on experience and has made a positive impact in the community.

Best of luck this school year, Sydnee — we can’t wait to see all that you accomplish!
