With hearts full of gratitude and sorrow, we announce the peaceful passing of Jeanne Ann (England) Mogler, age 87, on October 10, 2026. She was known for her kindness, compassion, and mounds of fabric and thread. She was happiest behind a sewing machine, mending a dress, hemming a skirt, or constructing a new quilt. She found joy in the simple things - sitting on the porch chatting, playing card games and chatting, and reading a good book and chatting. She was our social butterfly. All who met her loved her.
She was born on March 29, 1939, in Armstrong, Iowa, to Mandy and Lyle England. The family later bought a farm near Seneca, where Jeanne attended school and graduated from Seneca High School. After graduation, Jeanne went on to work at Banker’s Life in Des Moines, Iowa.
In 1957, Jeanne married John Kressin, and together they had three children: Robert (Marcy), Diana, and David (Denise). After the marriage ended in divorce, she married Robert Mogler. The family settled in Eagle Grove, where they welcomed two more children, Sandra (Jim) and Brenda (Fred). Robert worked as a long-haul semi-truck driver, and Jeanne worked as a seamstress.
In 1992, Jeanne and Robert moved to Arizona, where Jeanne worked as a seamstress independently and as a fabric clerk at Walmart for many years. Robert passed away in 2009. In 2019, Jeanne moved to Texas, where she spent her final years.
Jeanne was preceded in death by her mother and father, Lyle and Mandy; her husband, Robert; her sister, Barbara; her brother, Roger; and her grandson Joshua.
She is survived by her children, Robert (Marcy), Diana, David (Denise), Sandra (Jim), and Brenda (Fred); her brothers, Jerry and Richard; her sister, Mary; her grandchildren: Kacey (Alex), Kyle (Amanda), Michelle, Derek (Caitlin), and Riley, as well as 12 great-grandchildren.
