Born in Joliet, the daughter of the late Robert and Elizabeth (nee Koenig) Murphy. She was a lifelong resident and graduate of Joliet Township High School and attended Junior College. Betty worked side by side with her husband, Dr. William Hogan developing their 35 year career in Pediatrics.

My family and I express our deepest sympathy to the family of Elizabeth A. Hogan. I am very grateful to have had Dr. Hogan as the Dr. for our children, and I got to know Mrs. Elizabeth Hogan. She was such a lovely person. They both left behind such excellent memories. May God bring peace, comfort, and strength into your life today and the days to follow.
