Mary Frances Hogue

 She was born Thursday, December 31, 1942 in a fierce winter storm in Waynesburg, PA. A daughter of the late Howard Lawrence Garber and Genevieve "Jane" Orndoff Garber.

  Mrs. Hogue was a graduate of Waynesburg High School class of 1961. She missed her graduating class of 1960 due to severe illness. She attended Business School in Hagerstown, MD. She worked as an Office Manager for the former Sutton Printing Company on Franklin St. in Waynesburg, PA. for several years. She left the business world to be a full time devoted homemaker in 1970 after her first attack of Crohn's Disease. Her 2nd battle of Crohn's Disease in 1986 left her to be dependent on IV Therapy. For 30 years she baffled the medical community in her resilience against Crohn's.

               While quiet in her social spheres, her faith was strong as she traveled and lived with her son John, who is ordained in the United Church of Christ and Disciples of Christ faith traditions. She lived with her son John in Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and most recently Nebraska. Her recent travels led her to see her son John working to complete his credentials in the United Methodist Church of which he currently serves the First United Methodist Church in Falls City and Trinity United Methodist Church in Rulo, Nebraska.
