Denise Marie Boggio

Denise Marie Boggio, 65, of Granville, died on Monday, Aug. 5 at her home in Fort Myers, Fla.

She was born to William Sr. and Patricia Drennen on Sept. 8, 1959.

Denise graduated from Putnam County High School in 1977.

She married her high school sweetheart Keith Boggio on June 16, 1979 in Hennepin. Together, they had four children.

Throughout her childhood, she was always outdoors, spent as much time around animals as possible and could always be found riding her horse, Smokey.

Denise and Keith started Boggio’s Orchard and Produce in 1989 and ran it until retiring in 2022. She was a hard worker who spent more than three decades planting, hand picking vegetables, taking care of the many animals in the petting zoo, including her favorite Caramel the Camel, hand drawing the corn maze design each year, helping in the bakery and with the agri-tourism and anything else that needed done.

Denise adored her dogs. She was an avid hunter and fisherman, a talented artist and loving grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her five grandchildren, swimming, fishing and taking them to see the farm animals.

She is survived by her husband, Keith, her daughters Alyssa (Joe) Gibbs, of Springfield, and Justina (Kevin) Chlum, of Princeton, her grandchildren Sawyer, Hudson, Ryne, Reid and Destiny, her brother William Jr. (Annmarie) Drennen, of Fort Myers, Fla., and sister Deanna (Chris) Maggi, of Lehigh Acres, Fla.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her sons Keith Jr. and Joshua.

Pallbearers will be Kevin Chlum, Jake Drennen, Neil Gualandi, Joe Gibbs, Joe Migliorini and Carter Trone. Honorary pallbearers are Reid Chlum, Ryne Chlum and Hudson Gibbs.
