Donna H. Rogers

Donna H. Rogers was a caring and loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandma, little gigi, sister, aunt, and friend. She left this world after 78 years for her heavenly home on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her in-laws, Folger and Pearl Rogers, and brother-in-law, Gary Rogers and wife Ann.

During her life, Donna enjoyed cooking and most days you could find her in the kitchen preparing one of her delicious meals. Donna was incredibly gifted when it came to growing and maintaining flora, but her greatest joy in life was raising her children and caring for her family.

Rogers (Tammy) of Moravian Falls, and Joseph Rogers (Amy) of Conover.
