Evelyn Mae Hogan

Evelyn “Mae” Hogan, 64, of Mt. Vernon, passed away at her home on Thursday, December 8, 2022. Mae was born on November 16, 1958, the daughter of Shirley F. and Loudean H. (Breeden) Hogan.

Mae worked for 27 years as a cashier and attendant at the Mt. Vernon Thrift Store, and for approximately 10 years as a cook at the Mt. Vernon Hardee’s until its closure and at McDonald’s until her retirement. She was a lifelong pro wrestling fan, having spent many years as a fixture at area wrestling matches, and avidly followed the careers of many stars from their earliest days wrestling in Evansville to the WWE/WWF and other major federations. She also enjoyed bingo matches, card and dice games, crossword puzzles, and traveling to Tennessee when possible. Due to her work and vibrant personality, she was a stranger to few people in Mt. Vernon. She cared for those around her, loved her family deeply, and aimed to please those who looked out for her. She was in turn loved, cared for, and will be missed.

She is survived by her sister Pearlene (Dennis) Curry, fourteen nieces and nephews, sixteen great-nieces and nephews, and numerous family members extending further. Her death was preceded by her mother and father, sisters Delores Kincheloe and Beatrice Higgs, a brother Paul, and three infant brothers Donald, Noah, and Enoch.

Per her arrangements, no visitations will be held. A graveside service will be held at a later time determined by the family at Beech Grove Cemetery in Posey County, Ind. where she will be laid to rest. Online condolences may be left at denningfamilyfuneralhome.com.
