Ogonowski is her name. Wondering whether I had it wrong, I chekced the program from the 1978 World Open Straight Pool event in front of me as I post, and it confirms that spelling.
This link will offer additional corroboration of that spelling.

Steve Mizerak of Fords, N.J., captured the 1982 World Championship of Pocket Billiards at New York's Roosevelt Hotel by defeating Danny DiLiberto of Buffalo, 150-80, on Saturday night.
Mizerak announced his retirement from active competition after his victory. Jean Balukas of New York closed with a strong 55 against the defending world champion, Loree-Jon Ogonowski of Garwood, N.J., to win her sixth world title, 75-20. Christer Lofstrand of Frolund, Sweden, repeated as junior world champion.
That's the best I can offer.
I believe the "Ogonowski" part is correct. I think that "Loree-Jon" is the first part of her name. Note the hyphen in the first name. Hey, I know that's picky, but I'm an old, retired college professor. Here is the source I was using, it's from the New York Times:sjm said:
