Her professionalism was matched only by her kindness, and she took great pride in helping others succeed.

She valued family above all, and her life was shaped by showing up for the people she loved, no matter the circumstance. Those who knew her will remember her as someone who loved hard, felt deeply, and left a lasting impression on every heart she touched.

She is survived by her parents, Brenda Sloan and Merritt Timothy Ogle; her brother, Jason Ogle and family; her sister; Erin Ogle and family; her children, Christopher Ogle and Ayden Ogle; her niece, Reedie Sloan; and her grandchild, Ruby Ogle.
