Angela Marie Ogden

Angel was born on June 27, 1965 to Anna Marie Cipale and Doug Hutchins in Des Moines, IA. She passed away unexpectedly on October 9, 2021 surrounded by her loving family. Angie was a free-spirit, an Italian spitfire, and a staple of south Des Moines most of her life. 33 years ago on October 14, 1988, Angie married Mark Ogden and three children were born to their union; Robert Lee, Justin Thomas and Taylor Nikole.

Angie loved many things. Her favorite color was red, signifying life, vigor, courage and love, qualities she inspired from her birth. She enjoyed Harley rides, puzzle books, adult coloring books, arts & crafts and board games, with Scrabble being her favorite. More than anything, she loved and was devoted to her family. She would do anything for family, frequently driving hundreds of miles to take her “brood” to concerts, races, wherever they wanted to go.

Angie’s home was open to all. She was a great listener, a confidant, and a mother figure to many southside youths. Her Italian heritage made her a fantastic cook and her deviled eggs and pasta salad were the best! She was a caretaker, always the first to arrive and last to leave. She was fearless and brave!

Angie could command a room. She was honest and always said it like it is. She was unique and full of life, a bright light wherever she went. Heaven gained a courageous and beautiful soul. When you’re tempted to cry, just remember her smile.

Angie is survived by her husband, Mark, 3 children & 10 grandchildren; son Robbie Harsh (Amanda Gale), Makenzie, Gage, Keagan, Lillian, Layla & Oliver; son Jay Ogden (Cassaundra Chance), Aspyn, Rilee, Jackson & Finley; daughter Taylor; mother Anna Marie Harsh of Ankeny, IA; father Doug Hutchins of Superior, MT; mothers-in-law, Becky Hein and Donna Ogden; beloved pets, Cookie, Yoshi, X, and Casper; a multitude of devoted aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and surrogate sons & daughters she collected through the years.

Angie was preceded in death by her grandparents, father-in-law Bob Ogden and brother-in-law Mike Ogden.

The family will greet friends on Sunday, October 24, 2021 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street. A memorial service will take place following the visitation starting at 4:00 p.m. also at the funeral home.

The family would like to thank the Warren County Sherriff’s Department, Milo Fire Department, and Mercy Life-Flight for the aid given to Angel during her final moments on Earth.

Memorial contributions may be directed to the family in loving memory of Angie.
