Aileen W. Hogge

Hayes: Aileen Welsh Hogge, age 83, passed away on February 9, 2012 due to complications of a stroke. She was born in Wilmington, NC on April 15, 1928. She attended school in North Carolina and Newport News (graduating from Warwick High School) and received her teaching certificate from Peace College in elementary education. She taught 1st grade for 10 years in Newport News at Parkview Elementary and loved being a teacher!!!! She spent the years following teaching as a homemaker and being a wife and a great mom. Her loves included crafts, quilting, cross stitch, collecting children's glass dishes and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. There was never any mountain she could not climb in life and she lived her faith daily! During the last six months, due to dementia, she lived at The Gloucester House and developed many friendships there as a resident. The staff loved her and her quick unpredictable wit!
She is survived by her husband of 57 years, William H. Hogge, daughter Rebecca H. Powell and husband Mike, son John H. Hogge and wife Elise, grandchildren Sarah Rebecca Powell, Matthew James Powell, Lauren Elise Hogge and Marie Elise Hogge.
