Honoring Jamie Hogan: Support Her Young Family

All are welcome to a Celebration of Jamie’s Life, which will take place on Saturday, July 19, at 3 p.m. at the Hutton Brickyards, Hutton Hall, 200 North Street, Kingston NY.

On June 27, our dear friend Jamie Hogan passed away at the age of 42 after fighting stage 4 colon cancer for more than a year.

She leaves behind her husband, Robert Collignon, and their two sweet kids — Sylvie (3) and James (1) — who suddenly have to navigate life without their mom.

Since January 2024, Jamie’s life had been full of extremes: She and Robert welcomed their beautiful son James, and then only six weeks later began facing what she called the “epic quest” of her diagnosis. In her own words, it was “the full spectrum of the human experience in a single year.”

Throughout it all, Jamie was astoundingly positive, graceful, tough, and—as anyone who caught her darkly hilarious Instagram stories knew—very funny. She was an artist, a storyteller, and a mother who spent every moment she had to create joy and normalcy for her children. She was endlessly grateful for the care and kindness she received from her family by friends, neighbors, and even strangers.

Now, in the wake of her passing, we are honoring Jamie’s legacy and rallying around her family by helping ease the financial weight of this loss.

Donations will support:

    •    Funeral and memorial expenses

    •    Childcare and grief counseling for the children

    •    Household and living costs as Robert steps into life as a solo parent

    •    Continued support to help provide stability in the months ahead

Jamie and her family are beloved members of the Kingston community. Whether you knew her personally or are moved by her story, we hope you’ll consider contributing. Every donation — large or small — helps carry this family through a profoundly difficult chapter.

Thank you for helping us show up for Jamie’s family with the same compassion she so often showed others.
