Elizabeth Ann Hogue

Elizabeth Ann Hogue August 8, 1962 – May 16, 2007 Elizabeth Ann Curtice was born in Beaumont, Texas to Morton Curtice (“Curtice”), and Katherine Curtice on August 8th, 1962. Liz Hogue, 44, left our World following a courageous battle with lung cancer. Our precious wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend went to meet her Lord on May 16, 2007. Liz was the middle child of Curtice and Katherine. She was a 1980 graduate of B-C-P High School in Beaumont, TX. She placed her faith in Jesus Christ in 1983, receiving the everlasting salvation available to all who would repent and trust him. She married Mark Hogue and moved to Austin in 1985, sharing a wonderful life together raising two incredible children, Lacy and Grayson. Professionally, Liz was a top producing real estate agent and was associated with Coldwell Banker United, REALTORS for the past eleven years. Her professional accomplishments, as well as her flare for fashion and style, were nothing short of amazing. Her tireless work ethic and larger than life persona allowed Liz to be one of the best of the best. She was consistently ranked as one of the top Coldwell Banker agents in the state and the nation based on sales volume, but more important than her “awards” was her phenomenal approach to customer care that allowed so many clients to walk away from their “transaction” as her friend for life. She was a charismatic "cheerleader" when she described her well earned new listings to the office. And her enthusiasm netted her admirable results by being awarded the coveted International President's Circle Award, a recognition given only to the top 3% of producers in the country. When not at the office, Liz gave back to the Real Estate community by being very active in a long list of professional organizations, including the Austin Chapter of Certified Residential Specialists, and the Austin Chapter of the Women's Council of Realtors, where she served as VP in 1997 and was voted Realtor of the Year twice, in 1997 and 2000. She also chaired one of the most successful chapter fund raisers the WCR Style Show, an annual charity event. At home and in her neighborhood, "Lizzie" never stopped giving. She was committed to being a good neighbor as well as a good realtor in the RiverPlace community. During her 11 years in the "hood" she hosted Easter egg hunts, Fourth of July events and Dads in the Hood occasions for hundreds of community children. And in true Liz style, she sponsored a successful yard of the month club, keeping things looking as good at home, as in professional life. The entire real estate community did their best to support Liz through her journey. She was loved. She is survived by her wonderful husband of 22 years, Mark, and their beautiful children, Lacy-21 and Grayson-17; her brothers, Dewayne Curtice and wife Karen, Steven Curtice and wife Holly along with their son Tyler. She had a wonderful family of in-laws: Mark’s parent’s Guy and Ethel Hogue, sister Sandra Carruth and her husband Doug along with nieces Jennifer and Sandie, brother Bill Hogue and wife Sarah along with nieces Alice and Ashley, and his sister Sharon Hogue, all of Houston. She is also survived by aunts; Mary Potts of Crystal Beach, Betty Wells of Vidor and her great aunt Meo Smith of Nederland along with many cousins from Southeast Texas.
