Rogers. She was a graduate of Big Sandy High School. Miss Rogers

and dedication were infectious to all around her. Through her
battle with cancer, Miss Rogers remained a dedicated daughter,
sister, friend, coworker and mentor, showing more concern for
others than her own situation. Every individual who knew her
will be touched by her passing. Her shoes can never be filled
though many walk in her footsteps.
