Cordy Rosenogle, 94, formerly of Flagstaff, died Saturday, Aug. 1, 2009.
Mrs. Rosenogle was born July 18, 1915, on a farm in southern Oklahoma near Marlow to Melissa Ann and George Tuggle. She was the youngest of seven girls. She had a rapid-fire wit, a wry sense of humor and a love for any conversation where both could be engaged -- especially in the warmth of her kitchen while the next extraordinary pie was being created. Mrs. Rosenogle was in her early 20s when her sister, Winnie, sponsored her way off the farm and into beauty college in Scottsdale. She was liberated from the farm and found herself living and working the life of a city girl. In Scottsdale, she met Al Rosenogle, a young barber from Indiana who worked in the shop next door. After a six-week courtship, they married in April 1939. Their union lasted 70 years until Mr. Rosenogle's death this past January.
In February 1940, the couple moved to Flagstaff to a house right on Route 66. Mr. Rosenogle bought and operated the barbershop in the hotel Monte Vista and that same year, Mrs. Rosenogle became mother to their first daughter, Julia. A few years later, they were blessed with their second daughter, Sandra. Mrs. Rosenogle played hostess for hundreds of family and friends who passed through as they traveled the famous highway, and over the years her pies fed a legion of students from the college following Sunday evening services at the Baptist church in Flagstaff.
The family moved to Phoenix in 1962 after the death Julia, who had been stricken by Lupus disease. Then they moved to Bagdad where Mrs. Rosenogle worked at the pharmacy for the Bagdad-Cypress Copper Mining Corporation and Mr. Rosenogle owned and operated the local barbershop. It was in those days that Mrs. Rosenogle delighted in grandparenting. She played many hands of go-fish with her grandchildren, and spent many hours with them having picnics in the desert.
Mrs. and Mrs. Rosenogle moved to Austin, Texas, in 1984 to be close to family.
Visitation will be today, at 6 p.m., at Cook-Walden/Forest Oaks Funeral Home in Oak Hill, Texas. A graveside service will be Thursday, at 10 a.m., at Cook-Walden/Forest Oaks Memorial Park with Dr. Ralph Smith officiating. She and her family request that gifts and remembrances be directed to Austin Baptist Church.
Arrangements by Cook-Walden Forest Oaks Funeral Home, 6300 W. William Cannon Drive, Austin, TX 78749, (512) 892-1172.
