Anita Rogers

Anita loved the LORD, her husband, and her family unconditionally. She was a devoted Christian and spent every Sunday in church doing everything she could to make sure things were taken care of, whether that meant preparing the food, balancing the checkbook, or cleaning, she did whatever she could to serve the Lord. She always made sure no holiday or family event went without gathering everyone together for celebration so that time could be spent, and more memories could be made with her family. She spent many days with her husband on the back of a Goldwing motorcycle traveling the country. They traveled to 48 states together and made many cherishable memories together. She devoted the rest of her life to her two kids and her grandchildren, who she loved dearly. She was the most understanding, loving, and comforting woman that we ever knew, and she will be missed dearly by all of us.
