Mary Agnes Hogan, formerly of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on Sunday, January 19, 2014 in Alexandria, VA. She lived almost all of her 96 years in Niagara Falls, NY. Mary was predeceased by her loving husband, John "Jack" Hogan; brothers, Richard Argy and Monsignor William Argy, and a sister, Margaret Argy. Mary is survived by her sister, Sister Mary William Argy (Sisters of St. Joseph) and her children, John E. Hogan (Virginia) and their children, Elizabeth and Victoria; Margaret Hogan Roy (William Roy) and their son, Christian Janik; Catherine Hogan, Teresa Hogan Tagliarini (Thomas) and their children, Julia and Nickolas, and Anna Marie Hogan Carstensen (David).
Graduating from St. Rose's College, School of Nursing, she worked as a registered nurse at the Kimberly Clark company and later at Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital. She was such a caring and giving person that after retiring from Memorial Hospital, she volunteered there for another 20 years. Mary also volunteered for Meals on Wheels and for a local soup kitchen. She had a deep religious faith and was a woman of strong convictions, never letting her relatively petite size get in the way of expressing her heartfelt opinions, but never in an overbearing way. Mary was affectionately known as "le petite general." She was greatly admired for her strength of character, as well as for her physical stamina shoveling snow until well into her 90s.
As a wife, sister, mother, grandmother and friend - she was a caretaker in all of those roles; someone you knew would come running immediately if you needed anything. But she was also "always ready to go" - a trip, an outing, an adventure was always met with a "Sure, let's go!". Mary lived a strong and giving life touching the hearts of many along the journey. She will be missed.
