Sandra Kay Rogers

Sandra Kay Rogers passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 4, 2016 at the age of 71 due to complications from COPD. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law Paul and Caroline Rogers of Antioch, California; her daughter and son-in-law Kimberly and Melvin Graff of Layton, Utah; four beloved grandchildren, Catherine (Ben) Glad, Anne (Christian) Riboldi, Douglas Graff and Benjamin Graff; her sister Barbara Palmer of Sulphur Springs, Texas; her brother Robert Evans of Ft. Worth, Texas; her sweet dog Max.

Kay was born on February 3, 1945 in Victoria, Texas. She loved the fact that her birthday was 2/3/45. She graduated from Warner Robins High School in Georgia and attended one year at Middle Georgia College. While at college, Kay was a member of the drama club and was a cheer leader. Her family was reassigned with the military to Hickam AFB, Hawaii where she was a debutante in 1964. She married Larry Rogers in 1966 and they had 2 children together. They divorced in 1978.

Kay had a long career as a legal secretary for several law firms in the San Antonio area, and made wonderful friendships with coworkers during that time. She was a kind, generous person, and very good with people.

Kay was an accomplished quilter and a genius with a needle and thread. She crocheted, cross-stitched, sewed and knitted. She loved to read, wrote beautiful poetry and children's stories, and enjoyed fishing.

Kay was an avid dog lover. Her latest pet Max, was a dear companion.

Kay wished to be buried in the Lorena Cemetery, Lorena, Texas. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the San Antonio Area Scottie & Westie Rescue in her name. Contact Julie Walker at [email protected].

A graveside service will take place at a later date. Condolences and stories about Kay can be left on her Facebook page and online at www.colonialuniversal.com.
