Rosa was born in Havana, Cuba on July 28, 1924. She came to the United

States in 1956 and soon married her husband in Pascagoula, Mississippi. She

was a loving wife, mother and grandma (abuela) and dedicated her life to her

Catholic church, family and friends. She loved life, music and blessed all

that she touched. Rosa was famous for her Latino dances including the

limbo, mambo and cha cha cha. There was never a day where she wasn’t

singing, dancing, or making someone smile with a hug.

Rosa is preceded in death by her parents, Ramon Mata Vazo and Pilar

Penichet Viera of Cuba. She has been preceded by her siblings. She had six

brothers: Reynaldo, Romulo, Evelio, Rene, Angel, and Gardenio; and three

sisters: Maria Teresa, Irmina and Delia.

She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Chief Charles Richard Ogle, US

Navy retired. Three children: John Ogle, Elizabeth Ogle-Anderson and her

husband Hunter, and Richard Ogle. Four grandchildren: Richard Ogle,

Nicole Anderson, Charlie Anderson, and Kinley Ogle.

The family of Rosa Ogle would like to thank the staff of Lower Cape Fear

LifeCare and especially Dr. Mark Meyer for their outstanding comfort and

care.
