Dorothy Juanita Rogers, 95 of San Angelo, formerly of Carlsbad, Texas, passed away to be with her heavenly Father on January 27, 2017, while surrounded by her loving family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Woodrow in 2011. She was born March 3, 1921 in ODonnell, Texas. She completed her high school education attending the small farming community schools of New Moore and Pride, Texas. She was employed by the State of Texas at the McKnight State Hospital and retired from San Angelo State School with 25 years of service. She had many good friends there and cherished their friendship very much.
Mom enjoyed singing at church. Growing up in a family of eight, they would practice their 4 part harmony as a family group. I understand they were very good. Being with mom in worship, I believe this to be true because she could harmonize so well. She played guitar and piano. Had a gift of playing the same by ear. She had a knack for many things including playing baseball. She was left handed, played first and could out play her brother which irritated him to no end. She loved to be with her family on all holidays, vacations to Colorado and at the Noelke Ranch in Sheffield, Texas. She was a very good cook.
Mom and Dad where married 72 years and their family consisted of three children. Melva Weeks (husband Jodie), Darrell Rogers (wife Connie), Dian Noelke (husband Herbert) grand kids, great grand kids and great great grand kids who made up a very loving family. They were loved by many, not only family.
