Barbara Ellen Hogan, age 83, a resident of Chillicothe, Missouri, passed away on Thursday, July 23, 2026, at Stonebridge Nursing Home, Chillicothe, Missouri.

Barbara was born the daughter of Harold Conrad and Mary Loretta (Whelan) Bloomfield on September 2, 1942, in Ralls County, Missouri. She was united in marriage to Burnham “Bernie” Richard Hogan on May 5, 1962, in Mexico, Missouri. He survives of the home. She worked for Singer Sewing Machine Company for 5 years. She and her husband Bernie owned and operated Bernie’s Sewing Center from 1975 until 1999. Barbara then worked as the baker at Dewey School and truly enjoyed seeing all of the students each day.

Barbara was a member of the Chillicothe Elks Auxiliary and volunteered at the senior center for many years. She enjoyed sewing and cooking, and she loved playing canasta with her family and friends. Traveling and spending many summers camping at Thomas Hill Lake were among her fondest memories. When she was a child, her mother gave each of the children nicknames from the Winnie‑the‑Pooh books; Barbara’s was Eeyore. Later in life, she earned the nickname “Camp Boss” during their many years at Thomas Hill Lake, but most of all, her favorite nickname was “Grandma.”

Survivors include her husband, Bernie Hogan, of the home; one son, Burnham Richard “Rick” Hogan (Debbie) of Kirksville, Missouri; two daughters, Nichola “Nicki” Snider (Eric) of Kearney, Missouri, and Victoria “Vicki” Anderson (Marty) of Jefferson City, Missouri; eight grandchildren; and one great grandchild. She is also survived by one brother, Harold Richard “Dick” Bloomfield (Mary) of Perry, Missouri; two sisters, Goldie Flowers of Center, Missouri, and Catherine Sue Hansen (Donald) of Perry, Missouri; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Sharon Ross and Jacqueline Avery; infant sibling, Bobby; one nephew, Bobby Ross; and two brothers-in-law, Weldon Ross and John Flowers.
