Maurine Dora Hopkins, daughter of Oscar G. and Mary R. (Shoemaker) Markley, was born September 5, 1925, and sojourned on this earth for 95 years, five months and six days, passing peacefully on to eternal life in the early morning hours of Thursday, February 11, 2021.
At the age of 15, she responded to the call of the Spirit and was baptized into the Old German Baptist Brethren Church to which she remained faithful until death.
On August 2, 1959, she married Harvey James Bogert. Together they raised their three children, living in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Baldwin City, Kansas; Amarillo, Texas, and finally moving to Quinter, Kansas in 1985.
Harvey passed on to eternity February 11, 1991.
On March 15, 2011, Maurine married Arthur Hopkins, and they enjoyed nearly ten years together.
Maurine had a positive attitude toward life, and a strong bond with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She enjoyed doing for others and sought ways to make a difference even as her strength waned. Her family, her brothers- and sisters-in-Christ, and the Quinter community were a blessing to her, and she often spoke of those who called or stopped by, appreciating each one.
Realizing the brevity of life and her failing heart, she asked for and received the anointing according to scripture on September 25, 2020.
She was proceeded in death by her parents; husband, Harvey J. Bogert; son, James M. Bogert on October 23, 2020; brother, Marlin D. Markley and wife Maggie; brother, Kenneth O. Markley and wife Naomi; brother-in-law, Albert J. Bogert and wife Lois; sister-in-law, Edith B. Jones and husband Walter.

Bogert and wife Cindy; daughter, Mary Alice Bogert; stepson, Kenneth Hopkins and wife Arlene; stepson, Wayne Hopkins and wife Gail; as well as her grandchildren and step-grandchildren, Megan and Madison Bowman, Cody Bogert, Jesse Bogert, Bradley Bogert, Matthew Bogert, Melissa Bogert, Sonya and Tim Hess, Sheila and Dean Mason, Laban and Mandy Hopkins; her many great- grandchildren, step-great-grandchildren, step-great-great-grandchildren each in whom she delighted; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
