Evelyn "Jean" Vogt, of St. Mary, Missouri, passed away on July 13, 2026, at Independence Care Center, at the age of 83. She was born on July 30, 1942, in Minnith, Missouri, to the late Anderson Boland and Virgie (Kennon) Boland.

Jean is survived by her children, Paul Austin (Jean) and DeeDee Moll (Kenny); her stepchildren, Shane Vogt (Patty), Dawn Gibson, and Chrissy Craig; numerous cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her siblings, Verneta Shuh, June Geiler, Derick "Dicky" Boland (Margie), Patty Bowen, Kathy Pittman, Bobby Boland (Misty), Gail Pittman, Larry Boland (Sandy), and Vickie Winston. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will forever cherish her memory.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Alfred "Bud" Vogt; her son, Jason Austin; her stepsons, John Vogt and Craig Vogt; and her siblings, Buck Boland, Wayne Boland, and Linda Johnson.

Jean dedicated 40 years of service as a bus driver for the Ste. Genevieve R-II School District, where she safely transported generations of students and became a familiar, caring presence in the community. She was also a faithful member of Brushy Bible Baptist Church.

In her free time, Jean enjoyed camping, playing bingo, and gathering around the table for a good game of cards with family and friends. Above all, she treasured the time she spent with her family and loved making memories with her children and grandchildren. No formal services will be held at this time. Memorial donations, if desired, may be made to the Brushy Bible Baptist Church or Journey Hospice.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff of Journey Hospice for the exceptional care, kindness, and support they provided to Jean and her loved ones during her final journey.
