Mr. Lee Pogue of Campbellsville was born on October 11, 1922 into the marriage of William A. and Ellen Mae (Frogg) Pogue in Monticello, KY. He departed this life on October 6, 2015 at the Golden Living Center in Greensburg. He was 92 years, 11 months, and 25 days of age.
On August 8, 1942, he married Rose Marie Light, who survives.
As a young man, Mr. Pogue answered the call to duty and joined the United States Army. He served his country honorably during the second World War. He was a natural storyteller; it was a favorite pastime of his to regal his grandchildren (or anyone else) with tales of his world travels.
Mr. Pogue was a field worker for Dean Foods for 30 years before his retirement. He was baptized in 2006 and joined the Shepherd’s Chapel Church of God in Arkansas.
