Vicky Vogel loved people. Especially babies.

She cherished her role as matriarch. Mother to 6. Grandmother to 17, and great-grandmother to 4.

Vicky was bright and curious. She appreciated hearing about people’s lives, and her calm, soothing presence was sought after. There was something about Vicky that made people feel accepted and comfortable to share and ask for her sage advice.

Vicky could strike up a conversation with anyone. One day, standing at the school bus stop in Minneapolis, she began a conversation with another mother that led to a community of lifelong friends for more than 60 years.

Vicky touched so many lives. She was especially proud of her work providing child care in her home so she could support working mothers and their families.

She was a keeper and collector. She collected antique books and had a legendary glass juicer display.

She loved high tea, an amaretto stone sour, as well as a quarter-pounder with cheese.

She had a dry, quirky sense of humor.
Her laughter was infectious, and one of the most magical feelings was being in her company when she lost her stoic composure.
Even as she lay dying, she quipped, “Is it crazy to think the last days of your life could be fun?”

Vicky was part of an epic 56-year-long relationship with the love of her life, William Walter Vogel, or Bill. Married at 18, she had 6 kids by 28. She opened her home and loved to entertain and welcome her friends, her children’s friends, and nieces and nephews. She was an active member of the Riverside Presbyterian Church. Life was busy and challenging at times. Yet, she was always creating fun and comfort where she could. Her cinnamon rolls, French toast, molasses cookies, and fried chicken dinners cured what ailed you.

She and her family have deep gratitude to her sister, Kay, for her loving care and support over the past 8 years.

Vicky was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Bill, as well as her son Will Vogel and his wife Susanne. Vicky is survived by her sisters Kay Kappelmann and Karla (Mike) Becker, and five children: Henry (Debbie) Vogel, Victoria “Ginger” (Keith) Schander, Annie Vogel (Tim Heilenbach), Rachel Vogel (Michael Forseth), and Amanda (Paul) Wright. She adored her 17 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

There will be a celebration of life at a later date.

Victoria Sue Vogel loved this life and did not want to say goodbye to the people she loved dearly. Some of her last words invoked the need for more kindness and love in this world.

In lieu of flowers, please open your heart and show someone love and kindness today.

Vicky would love that
