Koegler

Dolores Koegler, 87, of Saxonburg, passed away in her sleep on March 16, 2023. She was surrounded by family during the evening and then surrounded by the Heavenly Hosts who welcomed her home. She got her wish to die at home, and had been living with her daughter for the past year.

She was born July 14, 1935, at home in West Winfield. She was the daughter of John “Jack” Clowes and Harriett (Barnes) Clowes.

Dolores had worked at Nationwide before her marriage. She was a stay-at-home mom, until her husband, Gerald, passed away in 1980. She then went to work at Concordia Home and eventually got hired at the Saxonburg Library. She loved that job and the many people she served and the lifelong friends she made.

She enjoyed building puzzles, playing cards with family and friends, reading and crocheting. Family was very important. She loved all of the family gatherings. She enjoyed the vacations Tom took her on with his family and all of the bus trips she took with her friends. Going to “Ding Land” (local casinos), was also something she enjoyed doing occasionally.

She was a member of St. Luke Lutheran Church in Hannahstown.

She is survived by her daughter, Donna (Corky) Buckham of Butler; two sons, Ray Koegler of Saxonburg and Tom (Debby) Koegler of Sarver; her brother, Reuben Clowes of Cabot; her sister, Janet Durst of Cabot; and her sister-in-law, Pearl Clowes of Cabot.

Dolores was the proud grandma of Kathy Salsgiver, Micah (Ava) Koegler, Becca Buckham, Makenzie (Alex) Treser and Madison (Thomas) Olean; and her great-grandson, Blaise Buckham.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Gerald Koegler; her brother, Chuck Clowes; and her daughter-in-law, Sherry Koegler. All were greatly missed by her, and now she’s home with them.
