- JANESVILLE - Mildred L. MANOGUE, age 95, of 502 St.
Lawrence Ave., died
- Wed., April 13, 2005 at St. Elizabeth’s Nursing Home.
She was born in Adams, WI on April 18, 1909, the 3rd daughter
of Allen and Edith Lyle (BAUERMAN) COGSWELL. Mildred
married Darrell “Dude” MANOGUE on July 22, 1931
in Whitewater and he preceded her in death on Aug. 21, 1976.
She was our mother with a green thumb, maker of the best chicken
noodle soup and Christmas sugar cookies. She understood the
importance of trying to do our best, to listen, and to care for
those around us. Mildred was employed by Walworth County, Orfordville
and Milton School Districts before her retirement in 1973.
We remember a wonderful teacher who would take mittens, hat and
scarves to school for her “youngsters” who might have
forgotten or lost their own. She loved to play cards, read,
fish, listen to her tapes and she loved kittens, poetry, and
to travel. Phyllis and Nanci especially remember their trip
to Ireland where she was a “mother” to all in the tour
group. David remembers their trip to Niagara Falls and probably
many fishing tips and being her euchre partner on Monday mornings.
Darrel too remembers his days and nights working at Swiss Maid
and Mother sometimes waiting for him to bring home those great
ice cream sundaes. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic
Church, WREA, and Cogswell Historical Association.
