She worked in banking and real estate with the last office noted as Zook Real Estate, Monticello. She was the sister of Kenneth Graham II, Windfall, IN, beloved mother to Jamie Leigh Vogel 51, Gaynelle Marie Gilbride (Vogel) spouse Brion Gilbride 50, Gregory Dean Vogel II, 46 spouse Sherry (Clothier) and grandmother to David Edmond Hargitt, 22; Gregory Lawrence Hargitt, 21, Ashleigh Sue Vogel, 20, Evan Gregory Vogel, 17; Timothy A.

She was married to Gregory Vogel (01/30/70) divorced, 1993. Hobbies included bridge, poker (She was a cashier for the World Series of Poker in Vegas), and bowling. She loved being ‘nana’ or ‘gunga’ and the grandchildren were the light of her life. She also loved traveling and being a part of all her kids’ activities from sports to sprint car racing and was instrumental in establishing softball in Monticello with works involving Twin Lakes Softball.

She led by example. There was never a job too large or too small that she would not tackle. Mom was a strong, determined and fiercely independent woman and dedicated her life and time to her children and grandchildren. We will miss her every day.
