Judith Lynn "Judy" Ogle

Judith Lynn (Tucker) “Judy” Ogle, the youngest of eight children of the late Effie Arrena (Gan) Tucker and Bryan Richard Tucker, was born June 25, 1950, in Waynesville, Missouri. At the time of Judy’s birth, the family moved from a log cabin to a small school bus. Judy attended Laquey school from kindergarten until her 8th grade year. There was no high school in Laquey at the time, so the family moved to Waynesville, Missouri where Judy attended Waynesville High School and graduated with the Class of 1968. Judy started working at Farmers Insurance Group in 1968 and began dating her future husband, Danny Lee Ogle, in 1969. Danny and Judy actually attended all 12 years of school together, but it wasn’t until after they graduated that they began dating and on July 18, 1970, Judy married the love of her life. Due to Danny being in the United States Army, he and Judy were transferred to Fort Hood, Texas for 2 years and then moved back to Missouri and Judy started working at Rice Cleaners in 1972. After six years of marriage, Judy and Danny were blessed with their first child, Timothy Eric Ogle, on June 6, 1976. Two years later they were blessed with their second child, Erica Lynn Ogle on June 29, 1978, and two years after that they were blessed with their third child, Derek Lee Ogle on August 8, 1980. In 1980, Judy began working at the Laquey RV School at their head start. She worked there until 1985 and in 1987 she started working again for the school district in the cafeteria where she worked until her retirement in 2010 after 23 years of faithful service. In her spare time, Judy enjoyed taking pictures and putting them in numerous albums, dancing, praising the Lord while singing and just spending time with her family and friends. On July 15, 1997, Judy went through one of the darkest times of her life when Danny was tragically killed in a car accident. They had shared 27 years of marriage together and on July 18, 1997, on their anniversary, Judy laid Danny to rest. On April 24, 2005, Judy celebrated an important decision she had made in her life to accept Jesus Christ as her Savior and was baptized at Deerlick Baptist Church by Gary Humphrey. This decision helped her get through some more dark times in her life when her son, Derek, passed away on January 26, 2018, at the age of 37 and then her daughter, Erica passed away on May 15, 2021 at the age of 42 after a hard fought battle with cancer. Judy went home to be with her Lord Friday, December 1, 2023, in the Mercy Hospital of Springfield, Missouri having attained the age of 73 years. She will be sadly missed, but fondly remembered by all those that knew and loved her. She leaves to cherish her memory, her son: Tim Ogle of Waynesville, MO; son-in-law: Jason Hagerty of Waynesville, MO; two sisters: Melzona Wilson (Henry) of Waynesville, MO, and Ima Jean Logan of Fredricktown, MO; four grandchildren: Ivory Estrada (Robert) of Waynesville, MO, Ashlynn Ogle of St. Robert, MO, Angelica Ogle of Waynesville, MO and Henry Hagerty of Waynesville, MO; four great grandchildren: Kaiden, Alaysia, Sylvia, and Piper; sisters-in-law: Crystal (Ogle) Mosier (Michael) of Waynesville, MO, and Arlene (Ogle) Thornhill Veasman of Lebanon, MO; brothers-in-law: Gale Ogle of Lebanon, MO and Calvin Ogle of Omaha, NE; several nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. In addition to her parents, husband, and two children, Judy was preceded in death by five siblings: Juanita Prewitt, Roy C. York, Vada Williams, Wanda Adkins, and Lana Burgener; and two brothers-in-law: Bert Adkins and Wayne Ogle. Even though she is gone from our sight, Judy’s strong faith and love of family will live on in our hearts forever.
