I realized this morning that I never posted anything about my dad's going to Heaven this past January.  Perhaps its still too hard to realize that he's not with us anymore.  We've even had an Ogle reunion without him now.  It was hard, but we hugged each other and did it.  It was good to be together again.  We lost several very special Ogles in the past few years.  We missed the Strauss family, who had a schedule conflict.  Anyway.  Here is my dad's obituary content, except I corrected the typos and mistakes that newspapers always end up making.  I will post more about him in a few days.  When I can.

Oma Ogle, 89, went to be with the love of his life, Peggy Ogle, on Jan. 19, 2018.

Visitation is 5-7 p.m. Jan. 22 and a service is 10 a.m. Jan. 23, both at Waldrope-Hatfield-Hawthorne Funeral Home, 307 E. Sandstone in Llano, (325) 247-4300. The Rev. Richard Dye, pastor of First Christian Church of Plainview, will officiate. Interment will follow at Llano City Cemetery.

He was born Oct. 28, 1928, to Charlie Clinton Ogle and Ollie Lena Hawkins in East Grand Plains in Crosby County, Texas, and raised in Crosbyton. 

He married Dolores Peggy Jane Granath on Feb. 24, 1948, in Levelland. He started his life long career with Pan American Oil in 1949, which later became Stanolind Oil, Standard of Indiana, and Amoco Oil, from which he retired in 1984.

He and Peggy lived in Hobbs, Artesia, and Tatum, New Mexico, before moving to Llano in 1997, bringing with them their lifelong love for square dancing.

His career was only a small part of his life. While they lived in Tatum, he was a member for 18 years of the Tatum Board of Education and served in all the board offices; a lifelong Lions Club member; and a fire department volunteer fighting raging grass fires across eastern New Mexico.

When they came to Llano, they joined First Christian Church of Llano, where he was a deacon, board member, and longtime treasurer. Oma and Peggy were also founding members of the Llano Food Pantry.

After Peggy’s passing, he also became an active volunteer for Special Opportunities. He was a regular worker at the Llano Crawfish Open benefiting Llano charities, including his beloved Food Pantry and Special Opportunities, and, of course, a charter member of the morning donut shop club.

Oma was preceded in death by his dear wife, Peggy, and was the last survivor of the four daughters and seven sons of Charlie and Ollie. 

He is survived by all of his children, Douglas Clinton Ogle of Fritch, Debra Kay Strauss of Midland, Melba Jholene Olsen of Plainview, and Kyla Michelle Bayang of Tomball; grandchildren, Scott Alan Strauss, Gregg Patrick Strauss, Sara Katrina Olsen Wall, Richard “Eric” Leif Olsen III, Stephanie Michelle Strauss Watty, Martin Kyle Bayang, and Victoria “Vicki” Lynn Bayang; great-grandchildren, Aiden Kane Strauss, Nathan Goodwin Strauss, Natalie Paige Wall, and Carter Colby Strauss; sisters-in-law Billie Jo Fields Granath of Odessa, Juanda Kay Granath Edmondson of Llano, Myrna Lea Granath Brown Stark of Hobbs, and JoAnn Granath Heflin of Llano; brother-in-law Patrick Ivan Granath of Lovington, New Mexico; and countless nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make memorial contributions to the Llano Food Pantry, 8203 Texas 29 West, or First Christian Church, 1105 Oatman, Llano, TX 78643.

The family would also like to send out a thank-you to Velma and Michelle.
