Gene Lee Ogle
HALLSVILLE — Gene Lee Ogle, 85, lost his battle to cancer on May 27, 2020 in his home surrounded by his loved ones.
Gene was born in Harris, Missouri on December 31, 1934 to Gulley and Grace Ogle. He married the love of his life Helen Ray on November, 8 1960 and had three girls, Pamela, Angela and Kimberly. In 1953, he joined the Army and bravely served our country overseas for four years in Germany.
