Adelle was born in Echo, Minnesota; she enjoyed growing up on a farm with her loving parents and 9 siblings. Her faith in God and her close family ties stayed with her all through her life. She married Edward Vogt in 1942. During their 57 years of marriage, they enjoyed living in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Waitsburg, Washington, Echo, Minnesota, St. Louis Park, Edina, and Plymouth. They raised three daughters; Bonnie Loncorich (Frank), Sheryl Behlke (Steve), and Pam Ayres (David). Adelle provided a warm, caring, loving home for her family. She was a wonderful cook, and also enjoyed church activities, sewing, crochet, stitchery and gardening. She shared her many talents with her daughters throughout her life. Adelle also enjoyed golfing; she and Ed golfed every winter in California after they retired. She achieved two “holes in one” during her golfing years. Adella also was an avid Minnesota Twins and Vikings fan! Adelle was the proud grandmother of nine grandchildren (Todd Loncorich, Melanie Loncorich Thell, Jennifer Behlke Kelly, Jason, Ryan, and Laura Behlke, Kim, Katie, and Annie Ayres) and eight great-grandchildren (Ann and Rachel Loncorich, Emilie, Sierra, Lucy, and Natalie Thell, Amelia, and Nathan Kelly). She is survived by sisters-in-law, Ruth Bruss of Florida, and Marjorie Bruss of Echo, MN, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Edward, her parents, Albert and Emilie Bruss, six brothers, Erwin, Walter, Albert Jr., Delbert, Orville, and Leonard, and three sisters, Luella Saeger, Emily Prestegard, and Erna Christianson. Blessed be her memory.
