Hagins either starred or had been a guest on many popular television shows such as: Seinfeld, Roc, 227, The Golden Girls, Sister, Sister, The Hughleys, The Jamie Foxx Show, What's Happening Now, The Sinbad Show, Touched by an Angel, and The Famous Jett Jackson.

Hagins, who was one of five siblings, was the daughter of an Episcopal minister. Prior to becoming an actress, Hagins, who was a longtime friend of fellow veteran African-American character actresses Rosetta LeNoire (of ABC-TV's Family Matters) and Esther Rolle (better known to TV sitcom viewers as Florida Evans of CBS-TV's Good Times TV series fame), was a 4th grade teacher at Williams Elementary School and a member of St. Augustine's Episcopal Church in Gary, Indiana. She also was a board member for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. She also was a staunch liberal Democrat and African American Rights Activist.

She retired from acting in 2005, and then spending the last years of her life living in an antique farmhouse in Pennsylvania. Hagins reportedly owned four homes which consisted of a summer and fall house in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as well as two homes in Rancho Palos Verdes, California and a home in her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. She is buried at Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
