Obituary For Dorothy "Dottie" Marie Hogg

Madison -

Dorothy "Dottie" Marie Hogg, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 27 at the age of 85.

She is survived by her husband, Michael P. Hogg, 85, of Madison, Wisconsin, her seven children: Todd (Carol) Mishler, Tammy (Mike) Kleinhans, Tina (John) Woltman, Tim (Tracey) Mishler, Tari (Mike) Hafemeister, Jackie (Derek) Schmidt, and Beth (John) Mishler-Elmore and her 18 grandchildren: Mick, Tara, Ashleigh, Trevor, Rachel, Josh, Hannah, Chloe, Dana, Aaron, Christopher, Corey, Kati, Cassie, Cody, Courtney, Hillary and Grace.

Born in Birnamwood, Wisconsin to Paul and Martel Elizabeth Reissmann, Dottie was a lifelong lover of animals, and she donated regularly to the Humane Society and the ASPCA. Her charitable endeavors also included St. Jude, which she made monthly contributions to for over 25 years.

Dottie was a homemaker for over 20 years before becoming a full-time artisan and craftswoman, selling her creations across the country and overseas for another 20 years.

An avid fan of game shows, books and all things related to Willie Nelson, there wasn’t a celebrity autobiography that Dottie didn't read. Few could beat her at Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy, and she had an uncanny ability to win at solitaire.

Full of spunk and personality, Dottie delighted in cheering on the Chicago Bears from enemy territory, and she was also a huge fan of former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter. Nothing made her happier, though, than spending time with her kids and grandkids. Her humor, strength and uniqueness will live on in all of them.

Private family services will be held at a later date.

    We all have so many memories with my grandmother. As kids we would gather at their house for almost every holiday. She taught me to embroider, with a backstitch by hand. When I didn't want to eat my peas, she said to pretend it's candy. Gave me a whole bowl of black olives, my mom warned her not to....I threw up in a gas station on the way home. Even though I haven't seen her in a few years, I will miss her! So many memories that will be cherished. Sending love to all of my family.

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
