1936 ~ PAULINE ROGGE ~ 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pauline “Patsy” Rogge, 86, of Medicine Hat on January 27, 2022. She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Pauline will be greatly missed by her loving husband Glenn Rogge; they were married 64 years ago and have been inseparable ever since. Together, they had four daughters, Sandra (Glenn) Kaleta, Cindy (Kevin) Zirrie, Wendy Leger and Shelley (Brad) Watson; nine grandchildren, Jason Kaleta (Candace), Curtis (Kendra) Kaleta, Keith and Courtney Zirrie, Carolyn Farran, Cody Leger (Jana), Josh Leger (Alex), Sarah (Clayton) James and Paige (Blair) Schulz; fifteen great grandchildren, Ashton Kaleta, Macy, Graham, Liam, Dane and Kenzie Kaleta, Trey, Riley and Nadeen Zirrie, Jordan, Carter, Jocelyn Farran, James Leger and Kian and Hallie James; four sisters, Margaret (Grant) Neely, Donna (Freddie) Hiscott, Jean (Ed) Stern, Rita (Vance) Elder and Linda Campbell; one brother Allan (Simone) Marshall as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, James and Henrietta Campbell; one daughter, Wendy Leger in 2004; one granddaughter, Courtney Zirrie and one great grandson Dane Kaleta; her brother, Allan Marshall and sister Margaret (Grant) Neely. Patsy turned 86 and they say a person who dies on their birthday has fulfilled God’s given mission for them down here on earth and that is exactly what this woman did. She was truly a survivor and wouldn’t have made it through any of it without her husband Glenn Rogge at her side. The funeral service will be held in the PATTISON CHAPEL on Saturday, July 9, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Jamie McDonald officiating. The service will be live streamed, and family and friends who are unable to attend are invited to watch the service by searching for the Pattison Funeral Home Youtube page. The video will go live 10 minutes prior to service time and will remain on the youtube page for future viewing. To e-mail an expression of sympathy, please direct it to:
