Elizabeth "Bette" Jean Hogan died peacefully in her home, Thursday, Aug. 2, in the presence of her family. She was born Oct. 11, 1922, in Omaha, Neb., to Richard Dewey Moore and Lillian Mirtha Mae Maude Smith Moore. Bette was a graduate of West Plains High School and a
graduate of the University of Southern California and did graduate work at Drury College in sociology. She married Robert E. Hogan on May 15, 1947, in West Plains, Mo. Her early married life was lived in West Plains, Mo., and she moved with her husband to Springfield, Mo., in 1963. Bette was a compassionate and caring person and was a
pioneer in the field of home health care, working for Oxford Homehealth for 25 years. Earlier in her life she was a stewardess for Western Airlines, taught English at West Plains High School, was employed by the Girl Scout Council of America, and taught several
years at a school for the disabled in West Plains, Mo. She had an intuitive ability to understand others and demonstrated mercy and encouragement to those around her. She was on her high school debate team and continued to enjoy speaking throughout her life. When she did so she was very affirming and inspiring.
Disabled by a fall in 2000, she met her physical limitations from subsequent strokes with patience and nobility. She was dearly loved by her family. She was a member of PEO and First and Calvary Presbyterian Church and enjoyed literature, theater and traveling.
