Following Jeanette’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service.  The Bogart family will honor her memory privately at a later date.  Cruz Family Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Osceola is handling the arrangements.

Jeanette was employed as a press operator for over 27 years at South Bend Plastic before her retirement.  In her spare time, she enjoyed hunting and fishing with her husband Robert, playing cards with her friends and family, and spending time outdoors gardening.  Jeanette also loved raising her pet birds and always looked forward to the traditional “White Elephant” gift exchange with her family at Christmas.  She also attended St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in South Bend for many years.
