Jane Venie
JANE BROGGER
April 25, 1940 - December 29, 1991
Jane was born in Minneapolis, the daughter of
Harold J. and Susan Freeman Venie. She grew up in
Fargo, North Dakota and graduated from Fargo High
School in 1958. She then attended the University
of Colorado at Bolder where she was a member of the
Alpha Phi International Sorority. She graduated
with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary
Education in 1962 and began teaching in the
Bloomington, Minnesota School District.
Jane and Steve Brogger were married on June
26, 1963, and have three children, Neil, Geniene,
and Karl. They moved to the rural Dennison area in
1973 where Jane could enjoy her life-long love of
riding and showing horses. She earned numerous
trophies for her skills. She also enjoyed
traveling and collecting works of art.
Jane is survived by her husband Steve, her
daughter Geniene, her sons Neil and Karl, and many
friends. She is remembered by her family as being
a very caring, giving person, always ready to put
forth extra effort to help, someone who never said
a harsh word against others. During her year-long
illness she worried more about others than herself.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests that
memorials may be designated to the Northfield
Hospice Program, Vang Lutheran Church, the American
Heart Association, or other charity.
