Amy Hogan
September 29, 1940 – September 29, 2022
Amy Jo Ellen Hogan of San Francisco, CA was born on September 29, 1940, she passed away on September 29, 2022 at home surrounded by her five loving children. She never liked to miss a party, so she joined her late husband Clayton Matthew Hogan in Heaven to celebrate her 82nd Birthday.
Funny, loyal, smart and beautiful on the inside and out she is loved by many. Famous for her whimsical one-liners and not to be outdone on the dance floor with her signature dance move, she will be greatly missed.
Amy was born in Vallejo, CA where her late father Donald B. Brown worked as an Executive at Hearst Corporation. Her late Mother, Anne Brown was an artist and homemaker to her and two siblings, sister Barbara Turcios (Robert) and late brother Donald B. Brown, Jr. (Pamela). They moved to San Francisco after her father’s sudden passing when Amy was six years old. Amy attended St. Monica Elementary School and Star of the Sea High School in San Francisco. Amy met the love of her life, Clayton Matthew Hogan in High School. They married young and went on to have five loving children; Amy Weaver, Carrie Birkel, twin sons Clay Hogan (Barbara) and Sean Hogan (Karen) and Jennifer Hogan-Perlstein (Michael). Known lovingly as Gramy, she would light up a room with her bright and contagious smile. She is survived by nine grandchildren; Morgan (Andy), Samantha (Richard) and Cameron Weaver, Samantha (Zack) and Jacqueline Birkel, Stella and Angelica Hogan, Nicholas and Matteo Hogan and four great-grandchildren.
She dedicated her life to raising her five children and playing an active role in supporting their family business, San Francisco Plumbing Company. Amy loved being surrounded by her kids and grandchildren, some of her favorite activities were family dinners in Tahoe and time on their boat.
As they became empty nesters, Amy and Clay enjoyed traveling worldwide with their friends and family. Some favorite memories are playing card games and enjoying family dinners in Italy.
In her free time she enjoyed listening to speakers at the Commonwealth Club, luncheons and theater in San Francisco with her dearest girlfriends and quality time with her companion, Ronald Sligar.
She was a wonderful matriarch, mother, grandparent, and family was her whole world. She will be greatly missed, as to know her is to love her. The family will have a private celebration of life for Amy at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Amy’s memory to Collabria Care in Napa.
