Betty Vogel

Betty "Dusty" Vogel was born September 29, 1931, in Oklahoma City to Betty Poteet Hughs and Olen Hughs. She died in San Antonio on August 11, 2015 at age 83.

As a youngster, her family moved on several occasions from the Texas oilfields to west Texas farms. The family moved to Baca County, Colorado, in the middle 1940s, and Betty attended Springfield High School, where she was a cheerleader. She wanted to be the drum major for the band, but the director insisted that she play an instrument to qualify. She suggested the cymbals if he would just point to her when she was to crash them. She was a dandy drum major.

A successful insurance professional, she married LeRoy Vogel in 1977, and in the early '90s, she and LeRoy and son Daniel launched ReederVogel Advertising in San Antonio. She served as vice president and chief financial officer until her retirement three years ago.

She is survived by her husband, LeRoy Vogel, her sons, Daniel Reeder (Janet) and David Hughs (Elaine), a step-daughter, Margo Whitstone, five grandchildren and three great grandsons and a host of nieces and nephews.
