VOGL, Della Lynn

April 3, 1954 - May 5, 2015


Too young, Della has left us. She is survived by her mother June Vogl of Powell River, her sister Karen Pinton (Thomas) of White Rock, niece Ryley Pinton, step nephew Matthew Pinton (Krystal) and great grand nephew Carter. Della is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins and oh so many friends. She was pre-deceased by her father, Bud Vogl, in 1998. Della was born in Rossland, B.C. and three months later, she moved to Powell River where she grew up and graduated from Max Cameron Secondary School in 1971. She moved to Victoria for two years, then traveled abroad for one year after which she moved to Vancouver where she earned her diploma as a Food Service Supervisor. Della worked in three different hospitals before settling into her career at Burnaby Hospital where she was recognized for thirty years of service. Della loved to travel and managed to see most of this world. She also enjoyed her outings with the Purple Pumps of the Red Hat Society. Her positive outlook was amazing considering the progression of a debilitating neuromuscular disease. As Della did not want a formal service, a celebration of her life will be held on Friday, May 15th, 14909 32nd Ave., South Surrey from 2 - 5. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Della's name to the Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. at www.muscle.ca or Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. 1404 West Broadway, 7th Floor, Vancouver, B.C., V6H 1H6
