Vogeli, Dorothy (Dot)

93 of Fountain Hills, AZ, born Dorothy Jane Babcock, Feb. 12, 
1916 in Toledo, OH, departed this earthly life on Aug. 17, 2009. 
Dot graduated from DeVilbiss High School in Toledo in 1934, where 
she was crowned May Queen. She married her love and dance 
partner, Louis F. Vogeli Aug. 26, 1943 and they shared 66 years 
of marriage, raising their daughters, Diane and Betty. She was a 
career executive secretary for Marleau Fence Co. and 
Owens-Illinois Corp. in Toledo. Retiring in 1973, they moved to 
Phoenix and became active in the Buffalo Squares dance group. She 
enjoyed camping on the Mogollon Rim and travelling many of the 
Western States with her husband and family. She will be loved and 
missed every day by her husband, Lou, sister, Betty Hansen, 
daughters Diane Tagg and Betty Biebel, grandaughters, Ashley 
Biebel Webster, Adrienne Biebel Graves and Dana Biebel Feeney, 
and great-grandchildren, Robert N. Biebel, Emily Jane Graves and 
Abraham Zane Feeney, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was 
greeted in heaven by her mother, Anna, her father, Benjamin, her 
stepfather, Rollo, sisters, Leona and Charlotte and 
great-grandson, Noah. We are all the richer for having been loved 
by her. A memorial service will be held at a future time.
