Patrick Joseph Ogle

Obituary

Patrick “Pat” Joseph Ogle was born on March 17, 1930, at home on the farm in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, to George and Theresa (Starkey) Ogle. Patrick was baptized a week later at the Matter Dolorosa (now St. Mary’s) Catholic Church in Madelia, Minnesota.  He made his first communion in 1937, and was confirmed by Bishop Peschges on July 15, 1942, in the same church.  Patrick’s first 10 years of school were at the catholic school, and then transferred to the Madelia High School.  He enlisted in the United States Army on January 16, 1951, and served his country during the Korean War.  He was honorably discharged on August 23, 1952.

On May 14, 1951, Patrick was united in marriage to Gloris Jansen in the catholic church in Madelia.  They were blessed with five children, Sandra, Patricia, Steven, Michael and Bradley.  They shared over 39 years of marriage until Gloris passed away on March 9, 1991.

After Patrick completed his military service, he worked for Minnegasco for 38 years, retiring in 1991.  Patrick was an active member of Church of St. Pius X in Glencoe.    As his ministry to the church, he proudly served as an usher, taught religious education classes in three different catholic schools and served communion to the homebound for 23 years.  In 1969-1970, Patrick was an all-state commander of the Melrose VFW Post #7050.  He was a member of the VFW for over 69 years.  In 1972, he was the president of the Glencoe Chamber of Commerce.  Patrick also delivered Meals On Wheels in Glencoe for twelve years and volunteered at Glencoe Regional Health Services for many years after his retirement.  He enjoyed wood working, and traveling. He cherished his family, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  When Someone You Love Becomes a Memory, the Memory Becomes a Treasure.
