Eugene Cogle Obituary
Eugene Carlton Cogle, 82, of Disputanta passed away on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at his home. Born August 10, 1942, he was the son of the late Sarah Bicking and Alexander Cogle, Jr.

He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Sharon Ann Cogle; son, Robert Brown; brother, William Daniel Cogle; sister, Doris Pennington; and numerous nieces, nephews and other extended family members.
The family will receive friends from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at the Crater Road Chapel of E. Alvin Small Funeral Homes and Crematory, 3935 S.
