Dale Ogburn

Dale M. Ogburn, 80, of Chambersburg, passed away Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at the Wellspan Chambersburg Hospital. Because Dale trusted in the death of Jesus Christ for his Righteousness, he had confidence that after death he would be with Jesus. Thus, the family grieves, but not as those who have no hope.

(wife Janell) Ogburn, Ripley, OH, Suzanne C. (husband Keith) Johnson, St. Thomas, and Anthony L. (wife Deborah) Ogburn, Shippensburg; one sister, Anita (husband Philip) Sikora, Tinley Park, IL; 15 grandchildren; 13 great grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
