She worked at the Lord Baltimore School in the Cafeteria, and retired from the Indian River School District. She was a founding member, and very active member of Blackwater Fellowship Church -- but most of all was devoted to, and adored her family. She loved to read the papers, and keep up with what was going on. In addition to her parents, and her husband Floyd, she was preceded by a son, Floyd T. Rogers, Jr. in 1994, and her brothers: James Willey and William McCabe. She is survived by her children: Wilmer W. Rogers, and wife Mary Elizabeth, of Dagsboro, DE; William M. Rogers, and his wife Linda, of Harborton, VA; and Peggy Campbell, and husband David, Sr., of Frankford, DE, and a daughter-in-law: Judy Rogers. She has eight grand children, and 13 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by many extended family members and friends across Sussex County.
