JOYCE QUINN BOGAN passed away quietly May 6, 2019 at her San Antonio, Texas home.

She was born November 3, 1929, in Flint, to Richard Joseph Quinn and Elizabeth (Betty) Murray Quinn McCormick. Joyce grew up in Lapeer. After graduating from Lapeer High School in 1947, she attended Michigan State, where she met her husband of 61 years, Robert Francis Bogan.

Joyce is fondly remembered for her kind heart, volunteerism, love of children and affection for dogs. Joyce, an award-winning Child Advocates volunteer, dedicated untold hours and drove hundreds of miles for her CASA kids. She later served as a baby rocker at a San Antonio high school.

Wherever she lived, Joyce planted beautiful gardens, played golf with friends and found somewhere to volunteer. She shared her love of cooking by compiling two cookbooks for hospital volunteer groups. In later years, Joyce discovered a talent for painting.

Joyce is survived by son, Mr. Patrick Shannon Bogan; daughter, Mrs. Aletha Bogan Evert; grandsons, LT Jason Andrew Evert (USN), LT Travis Michael Evert (USN) and Mr. Sean Michael Bogan.

She was predeceased by her parents; husband, Robert; and her brother, CDR Richard Andrew Quinn (USN).
