Margaret L. Ogden

She was born on March 13, 1922 in Clearfield, the daughter of the late Harry and Sarah (Deshong) Mitchell.

On August 26, 1953 she married Stuart R. Ogden of Clearfield. They shared 48 wonderful years blessed with three daughters and the closeness of family and friends.

She is survived by her three daughters: Linda J. Simpkins and her companion, Jerry Beck of Indianapolis, IN , Marla K. Liegey and her husband Gerard of Clearfield and Barbara A. Malloy and her husband Daniel of Clearfield; six grandchildren: Matthew Simpkins and wife Breck, Michael Liegey, Ryan Liegey, Marlaina Caiola and husband Anthony, Lucas Malloy and Andrew Malloy ; four great-grandchildren: Elijah and Amelia Caiola, Chase and Charlotte Simpkins: in addition to her sister, Hazel Hepburn with husband Jack of Clearfield and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, grandson Brian Liegey and a brother, Ralph Mitchell.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and registered nurse, Peg always gave selflessly to others with kindness and sincerity. Even as a fierce competitor at cards, Peg was a good sport whether she won or lost.

Peg was a 1944 graduate of Clearfield Hospital School of Nursing and witnessed many historical changes in healthcare during her 40 years as a registered nurse at Clearfield Hospital. No matter the department or shift, she maintained her focus on caring for her patients first, then her charting. Even after retiring, Peg remained connected to Clearfield Hospital through the Clearfield Hospital School of Nursing Alumni and retired nurses.

Peg was an active member at West Side United Methodist Church, The Red Hats Society, Coterie, and local card clubs.

Her incredible experiences over 95 years most can only imagine- the first automobile and the great depression’s test of faith and family. Although her incredible journey through life has ended, her spirit will soar through all that knew her.

A funeral service honoring her wonderful life will be held at 11am on Saturday, November 18, 2017 at the Bennett and Houser Funeral Home, Inc. with Pastor Anthony Caiola officiating. Burial will be in Hillcrest Cemetery.
