Judith D. Hogan Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

HOGAN, JUDITH DIANE (JUDY), age 75 died on July 27, 2017. Visitation will be held on Sun. July 30th from 2-7 PM at Dryer Funeral Home in Holly. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM Mon. July 31st at Dryer Funeral Home, Holly with Pastor Patricia Harton officiating. Judy was born to Clyde and Helen Thompson on January 24, 1942, and lived in Holly and Fenton her entire life. She was a person with great empathy and cared deeply for the welfare of others. Judy graduated from Holly High School's Class of 1960, where she was a four-year class officer and cheerleader for the Holly Bronchos. She received her Bachelor of Science in Education from Central Michigan University, and her Masters Degree in Education from the University of Michigan. Her first teaching job interview was with Fenton High School as a Business Education teacher; they hired her on the spot, and she spent 32 years there as a teacher and coordinator for the vocational school-work co-op program. Judy served in many elective positions for the Fenton Education Association, including two terms as president, along with representative positions to the regional and state organizations. Although offered the opportunity to become assistant principal at Fenton High, she chose to remain in the classroom and enjoy her relationship with her students and teaching colleagues. After she retired in 1996, she continued to substitute regularly at Fenton until the diagnosis of her cancer in 2015. She married Clyde Riddle in 1963, and he preceded her in death in 1988. She later met her second husband, Max Hogan, on the golf course; and they were married in 1991. Together, they enjoyed many more years of golf and following sports, travel, spending time with family and friends, trips to Arizona, and eating out! Judy belonged to a bowling league for many years, and several golf leagues, Bunco club, Pinochle club, and loved to play in Euchre groups and tournaments. She especially enjoyed for more than 25 years an annual week's golf trip to Crystal Mountain with the Nags and Fillies, eight women friends who played lots of golf, laughed at silly skits, ate whatever they wanted, and never had an argument! Judy is survived by her loving husband, Max; sisters Karen (Jim) McDevitt, and Pam (Bruce) Rimmer; special nieces and nephews; Susan (John) Dasky, Alissa (Curtis) Rinke, Matt (Cindy) McDevitt, and Todd Runfeldt; sisters-in-law Mary Kirkpatrick and Sharon (Mike) Neaves; nieces-in-law Kellie (Bruce) Garrison, Kate Kirkpatrick, and D'Etta (Lee) Seward; nephews-in-law Bob (Jen) Hogan, and Todd (Kris) Neaves; great-nieces and nephews Andrea, Allison, Maddy, Georgie, Josie, Andrew, Ty, Nick, Jaclyn, Jacob, Kaylin, and Grace. She loved you all! In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry in Fenton. www.dryerfuneralhomeholly.com
