Longtime Chicago resident Maureen Lee “Moby” Bogle, the last surviving member of her family’s generation, passed away peacefully at NorthShore Hospital, Evanston, November 17, 2016, after a short illness. Moby was born in 1924 in a log cabin near Pine Creek, Idaho at the family’s sawmill. She grew up in Washington and attended school in Spokane. Later, she enrolled at the University of California and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, finally completing both her BAE and MAE degrees at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1948. Moby was an exceptional scientific illustrator of natural history subjects and later developed into an accomplished enamelist, while at the same time employed as an art instructor at Glencoe’s Central School for 23 years. She will be greatly missed by both family and colleagues who experienced firsthand her enthusiasm for both travel and the arts. At Moby’s request, services and interment are private.

Two days before Moby passed, my husband Dallas and I visited her in hospice. I asked her, "Are you okay with this?" and she answered, "Yes." She asked me if I was okay with it, and I said, "Yes," and then I said, "Not really, but yes." She told us that her life had been filled with so many wonderful, loving people, and Dallas said, "That's because you attracted who you are." And as I took this in, I knew in the depths of my heart that her life was her gift. She shared what she knew and learned—she shared who she was, and that is the greatest gift of all.
