Lark Ann Nagle
August 8, 1950 - November 14, 2025
Lark Ann Nagle, 75, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 14, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Lark’s beautiful life was defined by love, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to the people she cherished the most, her dearest friends and family.
Lark was born in Williamsport, PA, on August 8,1950, to the late Harold Thomas and Elinor Teresa (Fox) Springer, whom she loved and adored. She was the eldest of five siblings, the late Susan Clayton, the late Steven Springer, Karla Denison, and Patty DiCampli, all of whom she had meaningful relationships with throughout her life.
Lark and her family moved to Wilmington, Delaware after being raised in Williamsport, and she enjoyed spending time in both places – visiting her grandparents on the farm in PA and spending time with her cousins, while attending school in Wilmington. She was proud to be part of the first graduating class of McKean High School, creating friendships there that would last her entire life.
Lark married her high school sweetheart, John Edward Hendrix, and together had her beloved son, John Andrew Hendrix. After John Edward’s unfortunate passing, Lark married Jerry Nagle, with whom she had her cherished daughter Robin Ann Farrokh-Siar, and gained many brothers and sisters-in-law who became lifelong friends, including Betsy Rizzuto, the late Charlie Rizzuto, and Marybeth Nagle, to name a few. But most of all, her heart was dedicated to her soulmate and partner of the past 30 years, Mike Horgan. They shared a passion and friendship that was straight out of a fairytale. They enjoyed their private moments together at home, cooking meals, watching movies, and spending quality time with their grandchildren. As independent as Lark was, she didn’t like to be without “her Man,” and she missed him fiercely when they were apart. Thirty years ago at a party, she asked him to kiss her beneath a staircase, and from that moment on they were inseparable. Together, they built a life full of devotion, laughter, and unwavering support.
A loving mother, Lark adored her children, John and Robin. John could make her laugh like nobody else. She relished their conversations, took pride in his service to our country, and was steadfastly proud of the man he has become. Her relationship with her daughter, Robin, was truly remarkable. Lark treasured her daughter and was unwaveringly proud of the woman and mother Robin has become. They spoke every day, shared every moment, and had a relationship that most can only dream of.
Lark’s benevolence extended to many people outside her immediate family including Mike Horgan’s children, Mike Jr., Mark and their wives, Beth and Allison; her daughter-in-law, Amy (John); son-in-law, Babak (Robin); late brother-in-law, Paul (Karla); brother-in-law, Kevin (Karla); brother-in-law, Tom (Patty); niece, Annie Rizzuto, and so many other nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Above all, Lark’s most significant legacy and joy were her grandchildren. Lark had five grandchildren: Katie (Brandon), Breck, Brooklyn, Layla, and Skylar; one great-grandson, Killian; and eight extended grandchildren: Ethan, Tristan, Zander, Elena, Alexa, Delaney, James, and Colin. Her grandkids absolutely adored their Mom-Mom, and she enjoyed her time with them more than anything else on earth. She loved their daily visits, extended stays, taking them shopping, to theme parks, and just spending time with them.
Lark held numerous jobs throughout her life, including telephone operator, waitress, retail associate at a toy store, and dental administrator for 20 years, before retiring in 2018. No matter where she worked, she brought kindness, a strong work ethic, humor, and a deep sense of care to everyone around her.
She enjoyed traveling to Sanibel Island with her sisters, Karla and Patty, where she found peace collecting seashells along the shoreline. Karla and Patty were her best friends, confidants, and partners in crime. She would always say there is nothing better than having sisters. She also treasured her travels to California to spend time with her daughter and her grandkids, going to Disneyland, and creating memories filled with laughter and sunshine. She always dreamed of one day living in Southern California with them.
Lark delighted in the holidays, especially Halloween, and was an enthusiastic shopper. She took great pleasure in finding the perfect little gifts for those she loved. There wasn’t an occasion that went by without her sending a card in the mail—birthdays, holidays, milestones, or even to brighten someone’s day. She loved giving, celebrating, and making others feel included. Thoughtfulness was her signature.
She faced the last seven years of unimaginable, repeated medical lows with extraordinary courage, and her will to live on and continue to shine her light was unmatched. Her family surrounded her with constant care, ensuring she could remain at home throughout her illness. She was beyond grateful that John and Amy opened their home to her, allowing her to spend her last year surrounded by family and love.
Lark was also blessed with a wide and loving circle of friends, all of whom spent time with her, brightened her days, and supported her through life’s challenges. There are so many people to thank for making her last days comfortable and full of love, but especially to her beloved Mike, John, Amy, Robin, Patty, Karla, Betsy, and Allison, and especially her caretaker, Trisha, whose care and compassion made Lark’s last year possible, along with the support of Delaware Hospice, Nurse Jenn, and Chaplain Lee, for the love and comfort they provided.
The family plans to hold a Celebration of Life in early 2026, where loved ones will gather to honor Lark’s memory, her enduring spirit, and the wonderful life she lived.
Lark Ann Nagle leaves behind a legacy of family, generosity, strength, and boundless love. Lark was an incredible woman, partner, Mom, Mom-Mom, aunt, sister and friend. She will be profoundly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her and be graced by her smile and warmth.

She was the most magnetic and engaged woman… never phoney, never unclear about where she stood. When they made her the mold was broke. I am so grateful for having seen her smile. Amazing.
