Jane Marie (Bogucki) Cyr of St. Charles, IL, doting grandma, loving mom, devoted wife, dearest friend and strong, courageous and quiet fighter, was born June 8, 1951 and passed away peacefully December 29, 2018, surrounded by her children, in Chicago, Illinois.
Jane grew up in Chicago, IL and attended Resurrection High School. It was later, when working for Sears Roebuck, that she met the love of her life, John. After marrying in Chicago and having their first daughter, they moved to St. Charles, where they raised their children, met many friends, attended church and became active contributors to their community. Jane was always a dedicated volunteer at her children’s schools and church and eventually became a beloved part of the librarian community at St. Charles (now East) High School for over 20 years. From each of these, she gained lifelong friendships who have remained her closest confidantes and support system.
Jane loved being outside whether working in her yard, taking long walks with friends or family or putting her toes in the sand. She was an avid reader and crossword puzzle solver, she loved music and she was always thinking about what she could do to bring joy to someone’s day. She was the most diehard Cubs fan, and was thrilled to celebrate a World Series win with her family.
She will forever be remembered for her incredibly kind and selfless spirit, her caring nature, her unwavering faith and values and her bright smile and twinkling blue eyes. She was a role model of strength, bravery and quiet courage for all who knew her.
She is survived by daughters, Stefanie (Chase) Chavin of Chicago, IL and Jennifer Cyr (Matías Bianchi) of Tucson, AZ; son, Christopher Cyr (Susannah Engstrom) of Chicago, IL; her cherished grandchildren, Colby and Alexandra Chavin; Morena, Camilo and Magdalena Bianchi; and Gabriel and Abigail Cyr; and many beloved nieces, nephews and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, John, her parents, Phyllis and Ronald Bogucki and her sister, Joanne (Bogucki) Elser.
Funeral Mass will be 10:30 A.M., Thursday, January 3rd at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, 2900 East Main Street, (Rt. 64), St. Charles. Entombment will be at Resurrection Cemetery, Geneva. Visitation will be Wednesday from 4-8:00 P.M. at Yurs Funeral Home, 405 East Main Street, St. Charles.

Samara, Yotam, and kids from Tucson, AK
"We were so lucky to get to know Jane (thanks to our friendship with her amazing daughter and son-in-law here in Tucson). I'll never forget her patience and her warmth -- especially as she lovingly distracted baby Magdalena during one of Jen's research presentation at UA! She bounced that baby with sweet determination so that her brilliant daughter could wow us with her work. You are a family that exudes so much love and devotion to each other -- truly a role model for us all. We will be donating to Lazarus House in Jane's memory - thank you for drawing this great cause to our attention. Big hugs to the whole Cyr crew and the extended relatives. Love, Sam, Yotam, Ronen, & Matti"
Laurel Howard from West Chicago, IL
"Jane and I worked at St Charles East HS for many years. She was a wonderful help to me when my students and I needed resource assistance. Always a kind and welcoming person, she was a pleasure to be around. I am sorry to learn of her passing and wish God's peace and healing hand for Stephanie, Jennifer and Chris plus the rest of Jane's family. Jane's legacy will be remembered every time someone asks for help in that Library. She was a treasure in that educational community."
Chris Schmidt from St. Charles, IL
"This news breaks my heart. Jane has been such a gentle friend and influence in so many lives, and I count myself blessed to have watched our kids grow up together, then work together with her for years at St. Charles East. Jane was a true lady, yet a determined fighter. Her love for her family was infinite. I will miss her tender gentleness and pray that she is finally at peace. Very much love to all of the Cyrs."
Ralph Bellendir from Chicago, IL

"I am saddened by the loss of a lovely person. I have very fond memories of working with Jane when our daughters were Brownie Scouts. Much later we would see Jane at choir concerts at the University of Wisconsin where our daughters were participants. She has made so many wonderful memories for so many."
