Clare Bogle Obituary
Born: July 23, 1920
Died: March 8, 2019
Clare Veronica Cavell Bogle, of Arlington, Texas, born July 23, 1920 in Mendota, Illinois, died March 8, 2019.
In 1941 she married Curtis Bogle of DeKalb, Illinois. Clare and Curt lived in DeKalb for over sixty years, moving to Texas in 2001. Clare returned to college in the 1950's on a part-time basis while raising her family, finally earning her B.A. in English in 1971 and an M.A. in Library Science in 1978, both from Northern Illinois University. She served as a school librarian and English teacher at Malta ISD for 15 years.
Clare and Curt traveled extensively in Europe and the US, spending many winters in Tucson, Arizona. Clare's faith in God sustained her throughout her life. In 2007, she completed a four-year course of study in biblical studies, which covered every book of the Bible, at the University of Dallas School of Ministry Catholic Biblical School.
Clare was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Clara Cavell; two sisters, Eleanor Gillette and Joan Cavell; her husband, Curt; and her distant cousin, Edith Cavell, a British nurse martyred in World War I.
Her survivors include her children, Veronica Cavell, Jennifer (Roger) Neppl, Stephanie (Don) Carr, Michele (Jim) Bress, Curt (Lynn) Bogle, Sarah (Danny) Vogus, and Grant (Karen) Bogle; 18 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren.
Memorial services will be held in Sycamore, Illinois in June.

I grew up in Malta, and Clare was the librarian at Malta High School while I attended. I have many fond memories of her, and I was a member of the school Library Club for most of my High School days. I have thought of her often as time has gone by, and would have loved to have visited her had I known she only lived two hours from me! My sincerest condolences on your loss. She was a wonderful lady.

Remember Clare and Curt so well growing up in DeKalb. Loved going to their home, and always the most fun at Halloween parties , and special times with them. What a life Clare had, to see her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in their lives and to be so accomplished in her pursuit of education and religious studies. Our parents, the Henigans and Guerin's had many wonderful memories with the Bogles. Truly a celebration of life!!!
