Dot was preceded in death by her husband, Norris J. Hogge; her parents, John and Betty Strange; two sisters, Christina Edens and Pearl Conrad, and two brothers, Buddy Strange and Ed Strange.

She leaves behind four children to cherish her memory, Danny Hogge (Sheila), Randy Hogge, Jody Hogge (Ginger), and Renee Hiniker (Raymond).

Ambrose (Donna) and Robert E. Ambrose (Amanda), and 14 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by one sister, Mary Grace Freeman, and many nieces and nephews.
