Billie Jean Hogan, a resident of Manassas, VA, for more than 30 years, passed away with her loving daughter and sister at her side while at The Adler Center Hospice in Aldie, VA, on Friday, February 20, 2026.

Billie was born and raised in Paso Robles, CA, to Iveus "Red" Evans and Irene Evans of Park Street, where her family home is still known as the "Old Evan's place" to this day. She attended 1st Baptist Church then later attended Grace Baptist Church, both in Paso Robles, with her cousin Alice Stuart.

Billie graduated as a Bearcat from Paso Robles Union High School in 1961.

She attended Western Baptist Bible College in El Cerrito, CA, then joined the workforce, working with her best friend for a local insurance company. While working for the insurance company, she met the love of her life, future husband and father of her two children, Edward George Hogan, on a blind date.

Billie and Ed were married in her hometown of Paso Robles, CA, on November 13, 1971, and held their reception at The Paso Robles Inn. They made their home in San Jose, where they started their family. Billie gave birth to two healthy children, first her daughter Christine, then 16 months later, her son Stephen.

The family moved to Tucson, AZ, in July of 1978, where Billie grew to love the desert, Arizona Monsoons, and hiking with her family in beautiful places such as Sabino Canyon, Kitt Peak, and Saguaro National Park East, which was right near her home.

In July of 1984, the family moved again for her husband's career with IBM to Manassas, VA, where Billie would find friends and a church family that she loved at Tabernacle Baptist Church. She worked as a computer operator for Prince William County Schools until her retirement.

Billie is preceded in death by her husband, Edward Hogan, and her sister Peggy Harrison. She is survived by her daughter Christine Hogan Thomson and Son-in-law Paul Thomson both of AZ, son Stephen Hogan of TX, Grand Daughter Patricia Leeser of Manassas, sister JoAnn Holba of IL, cousin Judy Vanderbruggen of Los Angeles, Niece Peg Herald and husband Jeff Herald, Niece Jeanne Puacz and husband Chris Puacz as well as her Grandnieces Meagan, Zoey, Jill and Phoebe and Grandnephew Declan. She also lives on in all who knew and loved her.

Billie was ready to meet Jesus and smiled her big, beautiful smile as she told anyone who would listen how ready she was and that she was excited about meeting her Savior.

The family will receive friends for visitation from 6:00 - 8:00 PM on Friday, March 6, 2026, at Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center St., Manassas, VA 20110.
