Roger W. Serens

Roger W. Serens, 79, of Greensboro, left his physical body and returned Home on September 19, 2021. He was born January 14, 1942 in Detroit Michigan, the son of William H. and Dorris Anderson Serens. Roger served in the U.S. Army for three years of active duty from 1959-1962. Shortly thereafter, he began a long-time career as a transportation supervisor for the railroad industry. After leaving the railroad, he and his wife Jeanette decided to fulfill a shared dream of opening a bed and breakfast in Lexington, Virginia. Wonderful experiences were created during this time with many new lasting friendships made along the way.

Roger was an avid history buff, and fascinated with ancestry and genealogy He enjoyed spending free time traveling, as well as searching for that perfect addition to a growing antique collection. One of his favorite pastimes was watching NFL football, and especially when Tom Brady was playing:)

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of almost 38 years of marriage, Jeanette H. Serens, children and their spouses Michelle and Mark. Jeff and Kim, Brian and Darlene and Bob; grandchildren Natasha, Brittany, Alexandra, Kyle, Tiana, Joseph, Cole and Kate; great-grandchildren Dominic, Christian, Jasmine, Amelia, Josiah and Solomon; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

He also said good-bye to his sweet dog Abby, but is now reunited with many of his beloved furry friends who left before him.

Please plan to arrive about 15 minutes before the actual service begins, where we will meet at the Administration building beforehand (follow posted signs to the Administration building).
