Barbara Rogers

Barbara Ann Rogers, 82, of Tucson, died February 25, 2013 at her home surrounded by her loving family and friends. She was born March 17, 1930 in Burlington, Vermont to Harold and Agnes (Gould) Parrott. Barbara married Howard Rogers on December 06, 1947 in Eden, Vermont. She was the first born (big sister) of eleven in her wonderful family.

Barbara grew up in Vermont and moved to Connecticut in the 1950’s then back to Jeffersonville, Vermont in 1964. She lived in Jeffersonville before being transferred through IBM to Tucson in March of 1982. Barbara and Howard owned a very popular diner for eight years, which was called “The Rocky Spot Diner”. She had a love of cooking, baking, painting, making crafts, designing wedding cakes, flower gardening, and making conversations with all who came in contact with her. Barbara’s wonderful wit and smile will be dearly missed.
