Obituary for Laurie Ann Vogt (Rumage)
Laurie Ann Vogt, 58, of Akron, passed away on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, at Hospice and Community Care, Mount Joy.
She was born in Iowa City, IA to the late Kennard W. and Marigolde (Kinney) Rumage and was married to Ronald Vogt with whom she shared 26 wonderful years of marriage.

She was a member of Community Mennonite Church of Lancaster and spent many years as a marriage and family therapist at Philhaven and the Samaritan Counseling Center.
She loved spending time outdoors, taking hikes, and exploring new places. She found such joy in friendship and heartfelt connections, touching many people with her warmth and grace. Treasured memories would include discovering National Parks with her family and spending time with her cat companion, Theo. Bringing such light and joy to all who knew her, Laurie will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
