Along with her parents, she was also preceded in death by her first husband Elmer Ogg, Jr., and her brother Ronald Brandt. She is survived by her husband Terry Applegate, her daughters Jill Ogg Ferguson (Scott) and Amy Ogg Clayton Simpson (Andrew) as well as numerous extended family members and dear friends.

I remember going to AOII alumna meetings at her house in the 90´s. She was so much fun to be around and was a great hostess. She served as the Panhellenic Alumna President for the Dayton Area. Such a wonderful role model! I am so sad that Alzheimer´s took her away from us far too soon.
