Barbara Lynn Bogart
Sep. 24, 1935 - Oct. 25, 2011
Barbara Lynn Bogart, 76, of El Dorado, California, passed away at her home on Oct. 25, 2011, after a short illness. She was lovingly cared for by her husband, children, and sister. Born in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Howard and Margaret Hampton Reed on Sept. 24, 1935, she was raised on the family farm near Buhl, Idaho, graduating from Buhl High School in 1953.
Barbara married Paul Brown of Buhl, but they were later divorced. Five wonderful children were born to Barbara during her first marriage. She was a strong, caring mother who always put the needs of her children first and raised the three youngest girls on her own.
Upon moving from Buhl in 1960 to Sacramento, Calif., Barbara worked as a secretary at Aerojet-General. She took a few years off to raise her own children and also provided daycare for a number of other children. She then returned to her 27-year career at Aerojet-General, progressing from secretarial positions to executive assistant for the president of the company.
Barbara met Bruce Bogart, her husband, at Aerojet. Married on Jan. 8, 1994, Barbara and Bruce spent 17 years together —years rich with love, companionship, and dedication to each other. These were years of profound happiness for Barbara. A surprise delight was going to a Willie Nelson concert on their last anniversary. Willie really made her toes tap!
Known for sharing and giving to others, Barbara's generosity touched family and friends alike. She was dedicated to the welfare of her handicapped sister Judy. She was so proud of her children and cherished each one. She was the grandmother we all strive to be and loved every minute of it — teaching, spoiling, participating in all events and loving all of them unconditionally.
Barbara could accomplish more in one day than most dare dream about doing. Whether it be sewing, quilting, cooking, canning, gardening or refinishing antiques, the results were always astounding. This past summer she planned a quilting camp for two daughters and four granddaughters — just one of many such treasured memories. She was fondly referred to as "camp director" for any large or small family gatherings. One yearly, much-anticipated activity was traveling to or hosting a three-day reunion with her Buhl High School friends known as the The Ladybugs. These enduring friendships held a special place in her heart. Oh, to have had a glass to the wall on those occasions! Learning, laughter and love abounded as always when in Barbara's presence.
Barbara is survived by her husband, Bruce; son, Paul Brown, Jr. of Citrus Heights, Calif.; daughters and sons-in-law, Becky and Bruce Jukkala of Waldport, Ore., Lisa and Tre' Smith of Philadelphia, Pa., Suzanne and Tom Gevaert of Folsom, Calif., and Kristen and Jeff Benko of Brentwood, Calif.; and stepson and stepdaughter-in-law, Jeff and Gina Bogart of Davis, Calif. Grandchildren surviving are grandsons, Len and Kate Jukkala and Luke and Rosario Jukkala, and granddaughters, Carrie Brown, Michaela and Emma Benko and Maggie and Mollie Gevaert. Great-grandchildren are Leelyn, Harper and Annabelle Jukkala. In addition, Barbara is survived by three sisters and a brother-in-law, Norma Reed of Star, Idaho, Ruth and Delbert McFarland of Meridian, Idaho, and Peggy McCune of Swan Valley, Idaho; as well as sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Mickey Bogart of Manhattan, Kans., Charlotte and Ron Anderson of Wayzata, Minn., and Janice and David Dickerson of Hurst, Texas. Numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins survive Barbara as well. She was preceded in death by her granddaughter, Carrie Jukkala; parents, Howard and Margaret Reed; sister, Judy Reed; an infant sister and brother; and grandparents, William and Emma Reed and Benjamin and Winnie Hampton.
The family expresses their gratitude to the nurses and doctors of Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento, Snowline Hospice and Reverend Sly Howard. A celebration of Barbara's life will be held at Cielo Estate Winery, 3040 Ponderosa Road in Shingle Springs, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 30, at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the American Cancer Society or Special Olympics of Idaho, 199 E 52nd Street, Garden City, ID 83714.
We love you and miss you, dear one, but will be forever grateful for your legacy.
