Eraina "Fay" Bogan, 76, of Hopewell, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 19, 2022.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Glenna Fay Grass Strickland; father, George David Strickland (Betty); sister, Trudy Brown; and canine companion, Conway.
Fay is survived by her children, Glenna Jarratt (Shawn) and Larry Bogan (Shannon); grandchildren, Michelle (Nick), Stephanie (Louis), Kaitlin, Bran (Twan), Zachary, Brianna, McKenna, Shawn Jr., Lee, Brooklynn, Aiden, Kegan, Nolan, and Maddox; sister, Sue Garrett (Tom); brothers, John Strickland and Rick Strickland; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Fay enjoyed crafting, crocheting, and reading in her spare time. What she valued most in life was her family. She would proudly boast about her children and grandchildren to anyone and everyone. Her grandchildren were her "pride and joy." She was a wonderful combination of warmth, kindness, laughter, and love. She will live on in the hearts of the loved ones she left behind and will be greatly missed.
"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered, 'come to me.' A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best."
A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in her name may be donated to a local animal charity/shelter of your choice or to Charitable Giving American Liver Foundation, P.O. Box 299, W. Orange, NJ 07052. Condolences may be registered at
