A Life Remembered

Obituary

Nancy Jean Vogelman, age 92, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2026. She was born in Kenosha on November 25, 1933, the daughter of Frank and Esther Johnson Main.

Nancy was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She married the love of her life Beryl Vogelman in 1953, and together they raised their two sons. Nancy was a devout member of the First Presbyterian Church of Kenosha, where her faith was an important part of her life.

Nancy was also an avid quilter for more than 40 years. She was a proud member of the Southport Quilters and found great joy not only in quilting, but also in the many friendships and special memories she made through her quilting activities. Her creativity, kindness, and friendships touched many lives.

Nancy is survived by her two sons, Robert Vogelman and his wife, Linda, of Kenosha, and Tom Vogelman of Kenosha; her grandchildren, Scott Vogelman and Amber Peterson Vogelman; and Amber’s husband, Kyle.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Beryl; her oldest daughter, Janet Detro, in 1982; her youngest daughter, Diane Dreier in 2006; and her sister, Betty Wollert, in 2002.

Nancy will be remembered for her strong faith, her love of family, her beautiful quilting, and the many friendships she cherished throughout her life. Her quilts and the memories she created with those she loved will remain as lasting reminders of a life filled with love, creativity, and friendship.

She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Messages of Love

From family and friends

I grew to love Nancy during the 8 years that I would visit her. We started out as more or less strangers, but became friends, sharing memories, joys, concerns, and hopes. My last visit with her was about a week and a half before she experienced fully her resurrected life and reunion with her Lord and her earthly loves. She was not talking at that point, but she was at peace and she knew she was loved and in God's hands.
Peggy and Bill Grabowski September 30, 2026
Bill and I have such fond memories of your parents when living in the Forest Park area and having your family as our neighbors. They were both so kind. Willing to help out in any way they could but still allowing for privacy. The perfect neighbors! So very sorry for the loss of your mother. Hoping your many memories sustain you during your time of grief. K

My heartfelt sympathy goes to you all. She was a sweet lady. My mother Jean and Nancy often carpooled to Delavan WSD either picking up or dropping off Bob and me. Thanks for all you did. 🤟
