Interment will follow the service at the West Lawn Cemetery in Orange City.

Doris Emeline was born on February 8, 1924, in rural Orange City, the daughter of Y.G. and Ella Kay (Sebade) Mulder. She was raised in Orange City, where she attended the Northwestern Classical Academy, graduated from the public high school, and attended Northwestern College, all in Orange City. As a child, her father sold a calf to a truck/stock hauler for a piano, which she thoroughly enjoyed learning to play. She and her sisters were taught in the home, while her mother made cinnamon rolls with their teacher’s friend.

On February 4, 1946, she married John R. Vogel at the Trinity Reformed Church in Orange City. After John’s discharge from the United States Coast Guard, they made their home in Orange City, where she was a stenographer and secretary until their first child was born. The highlight of her life was her children and grandchildren.

As a homemaker, she enjoyed sewing, quilting, and learning to crochet and knit from Joyce Vogel. She was a member of the Sioux County Quilting Association and made a quilt for each of her grandchildren, letting them sew on the sewing machine, while she did her own handwork.

Mr. and Mrs. Vogel were active members of the Dover Avenue Alliance Church, where she taught Sunday school classes, played the organ, and was involved in many church activities. As a child, she loved her Bible and Sunday school lessons. This is where her definite inclination to be a Christian began. She found happiness in reading Moody Monthly, which helped her memorize parts of the Bible and learn what things meant. Christ and prayer were very important to her.

On March 14, 2013, John passed away of cancer, and she moved to the Pioneer Memorial Home in Orange City. Then in 2015, she transferred to the Royale Meadows Care Center in Sioux Center, and in 2016, to the Prairie Ridge Care Center in Orange City.

Survivors include her four children and their spouses, John Matthew and Anita Vogel, of Orange City; Jerry and Cindy Vogel, of Marshall, Minnesota; Steven and Diane Vogel, of Sioux City; and Elizabeth and Bruce Hagen, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; fifteen grandchildren, Jonathan Vogel, and his wife, Julie; Joel Vogel, and his wife, Lisa; Jacqueline Vogel; Joshua Vogel, and his wife, Shiho; Morgan Popenoe; Jeremy Vogel; Jason Vogel, and his wife, Kristen; Michael Vogel; Kevin Vogel, and his wife, Jessica; Angela, and her husband, Tim Johnson; Chris Hagen, and his wife, Ashley; Emily Hagen; Abigail Hagen; Sean Hagen; and Micah Hagen; sixteen great-grandchildren; a sister, Linda, and her husband, Brad Pietens, of DeKalb, Illinois; seven brothers-in-law, Tony Buschbach; Jerry Reinders; Gary Ritsema; George Vogel; Frank Vogel; Marvin Vogel; and Arthur Vogel, and his wife, Shirley; and two sisters-in-law, Bertha Stephenson; and Margaret, and her husband, Roger Roghair.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by eleven brothers and sisters and their spouses; one brother-in-law; and three sisters-in-law.

Memorials may be directed to Women’s Ministries at the Dover Avenue Alliance Church.
