Terry was born on October 30th, 1948, to Eugene and AnnaBelle (Troske) Vogel. He was raised on the family farm between Turton and Doland, SD, along with his 7 siblings. Terry graduated 6th grade from Turton Elementary and went on to earn his high school diploma from Doland High School. Continuing his education, Terry graduated from Northern State College in 1971, majoring in Business Administration and minoring in Economics under his Bachelor of Arts Degree. Also, during this time, Terry joined the Army National Guard in Redfield, SD.
Terry and Valarie Fey were married on August 15th, 1970, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Turton. They enjoyed 60 years together with almost 55 of them being married, full of faith, family, and friends.
After graduating from NSC, Terry worked for The General Adjustment Bureau based out of Aberdeen, SD. In May of 1972, Terry and Valarie moved back to Turton, where they raised their four children and built their legacy together. Terry was part owner and operator of the Troske-Vogel Agency for over 40 years. Terry also served as a board member of Farmers State Bank located in Turton for many years. Terry received many awards during his tenure at the agency and was recognized as an Outstanding Insurance Agent too many times to list. After 40+ years of working at the Agency and with his many friends in the community, he retired from and passed the calculator onto his two sons, Jeffrey and Thomas.
Terry was very involved as a member of the Turton community, giving graciously, decades of his time to St. Joseph's Catholic Church, the Turton Fire Department, and as a Civic Leader. Terry also organized, scheduled, and even drove bus for the Turton Frogs baseball program for 20 years.
Terry's two true loves of his life were his Catholic faith and his family, especially Valarie (Mom). He and Valarie spent many hours together, traveling to or being there early for their children's and grandchildren's events. Terry spent many happy hours with his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and attending all their events. Terry's love of time spent with family even found him coaching and/or playing on the same team as some. During the holidays and with his family near, you would often see Terry with a huge smile on his face, wiping tears from his eyes, proclaiming "GOD is good!"
Grateful for having shared his life are his wife Valarie of Turton, SD; son Allan Vogel of Marshall, MN and his sons Dylan (Kylie), Lincoln, and Chase; son Thomas (Susan) Vogel of Aberdeen, SD and their children Emma and Owen; son Jeffrey Vogel of Doland, SD; daughter Allison (Jeffery) Heitmann of Sioux Falls, SD and their children Blaine, Rhett, and Zoey; as well as great-grandsons Beau and Knox Vogel.
