Marjorie Jane Dogali
It was fitting that the heavens, filled with extraordinary shooting stars, paid tribute to receiving our beautiful mom and nana on the evening she passed away, Tuesday, August 11, 2015, in Cloverdale.
Marjorie Jane (McNeill) Dogali was born on May 10, 1920, in Arcata, California, to Mary Rose (Flower) and William Iles McNeill.
After graduating from Hopland High School, she worked as a civilian postal clerk, before joining the Womens Army Corps on October 4, 1943. She was the beloved wife of George P. Dogali for sixty years before he entered into rest on July 20, 2005. George and Marjorie met in 1942, a year after George entered the Army. They had a long distance courtship and on furlough were married May 17, 1945, at Saint Peters Catholic Church in Cloverdale.
Marjorie was the last surviving child of her parents four children. She was predeceased by her brother, Dorman McNeill, and sisters, Mina Brown and Irene Pruett.
She leaves to mourn her passing one daughter, Donna J. Buchignani, and two sons, Gary P. Dogali and George I. Dogali. She leaves seven grandchildren, as well: Anthony, Deno, Gina, Mario, Dana, Paul and Gino. Two great-grandchildren survive her, also: Henry and Fern.
