Vogan, Beatrice Park, of Brentwood, Missouri, was born February 20, 1918, in Saint Louis, Missouri to Robert Andrew and Mary Agnes (nee Bruin) Park and entered into rest Friday, November 22, 2019 in her home at the age of 101 years, 9 months and 21 days. She is preceded in death by her parents, and her husband John George Vogan, Sr. and her four (4) siblings, Florence Park, Catherine Wodraska, Dorothy Henderson and Robert John Park. She is survived by, four (4) children, Diane M. (Ronald E.) Clements, John G. (Donna) Vogan, Jr., Michael F. (Susan) Vogan and Kathleen A. (Robert F.) Woodward, seven (7) grandchildren, Lisa (Laurence) Komp, Raymond F. Mueller, II, Paul M. (Jill) Mueller, Daniel C. (Ivanilza) Vogan, Jennifer E. (Scott), Marie E. Vogan and Patrick J. (Leslie Ann) Vogan, ten (10) great-grandchildren, along with many more family and friends. Beatrice “Bea” was loved and adored by her family. Growing up she and her siblings experienced many hardships when their family hit hard times. She developed a love of reading, learning, music, politics and a rock strong faith in God as a child. For many years, she faithfully fulfilled devotional promises made to God for her husband John to come home safely when he was missing in action in WWII. She was a creative writer whose poetry touched many lives, and was read by Jack Carney on his radio show in the ’80s. Bea was a dreamer, and her biggest dream was that her children would have better lives and better educations than she had had. Through sacrifice and hard work, she achieved those dreams. Her intelligence and energy drove her to constant industry and pursuit of new interests. Generous and loving, she always knew the right questions to ask, was a compassionate listener, and could often help solve life problems with her wry sense of humor. She was an inspiration to her family. She will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
