It is with bittersweet sorrow that we announce the passing of Barbara Ann Rogers, who left us in the early morning of February 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas.  She was 88 years old.

As a youth, Barbara was known as a talented dancer, and for being active in girl scouts.  Her love for planes was realized during her four years in the Civil Air Patrol while attending Eastern High School in Washington, DC, where she helped her squadron leader to put a wrecked plane together. Shortly after graduating with honors in 1955, she married the love of her life, a handsome marine named Benard Rogers. Within only four short years the young couple had become a family of five, and Barbara discovered that being a mother was what she did best. As a stay at home mom she taught her three boys many things, became a Cub Scout Den mother, and volunteered for numerous youth activities to remain active in their lives. After the passing of her husband Ben, she was actively involved with the Red Hatters.  With her new friends, she enjoyed attending many parties, luncheons and other Red Hat events.

Barbara is survived by her three sons and their wives: Dennis and Maria, Kenneth and Andrea, and Leonard and Diane, as well as by grandchildren: Dennis Jr., Christian, Elliot, Andrew ,Cathy and seven great-grandchildren.

Services will be held for Barbara on February 28th at Laurel Hill Funeral Home at 10127 Plank Rd., Spotsylvania Courthouse, Va. 22553. Visitation will begin at 12 noon, and will be followed by a celebration of life at 1:00. Barbara will be laid to rest in Quantico National Cemetery with her husband Benard on March 3rd at 1:30 p.m.
