Obituary for Louise Elaine Rogulic (Horrall)
Louise H. Rogulic (nee Horrall) age 93 years, passed away on Sunday
March 29, 2020 in West Bend. She was born on May 20, 1926 in Bemidji,
Minnesota to Burtis E. and Bernice V. (nee Moody) Horrall and was
raised in West Lafayette, Indiana. Louise graduated from High School
in 1943, attended Purdue University and received her Masters Degree
from Purdue in June 1951. On August 16, 1952 Louise married John Marco
Rogulic on the University of Chicago Campus.
Louise worked as a School Psychologist and for many years served as
the Director of Special Education in McHenry County, IL. Education
was very important in her life and Louise took great pride in
furthering her education beyond her MS both in academics as well as
personal growth. Of her many achievements were documenting family
history through genealogy. She could always be counted on to
share/read a story at family gatherings and was an accomplished
seamstress and knitter. She loved to travel and together Louise and
John traveled around the world including many trips to Europe, New
Zealand, Australia, China etc. She served on many committees/boards,
was a member of Pi Beta Phi, Daughters of the American Revolution,
Society of Mayflower Descendants, and Who’s Who in American
Women 1981-1982.
Louise is survived by her daughter Laura (Gordon) Bertagnoli,
grandsons Nik (Rebecca) and Tony (Emily) and was affectionately called
“GG” by her great-grandchildren Dylan, Sawyer and Owen. She was
looking forward to another "great” baby girl in April. Her cousin Janyce
Wilson, in-laws Boz Bulovic and Mirko (Sharon) Rogulic, nieces, nephews,
dear friend Winnie and other relatives and friends also survive her. Her parents
preceded her in death as well as husband John, daughter Lisa Rogulic Newsome,
brother Ross Horrall, and in-laws Ann Bulovic and Jack (Violet) Rogulic.
The family extends a very special thank you to all the staff at The
Cottages as well as Cedar Hospice for their exceptional care, kindness
and support.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
