Pamela Kay "Pam" Rogers

On Sunday, September 20, after a difficult battle with Alzheimer’s Disease and most recently squamous cell carcinoma, Pam Rogers got to meet her Savior face-to-face. Mildred and John Bentley welcomed their precious baby girl into this world in Midland, TX on August 20, 1953. They lived there until Pam was in elementary school and the oil business moved them to Kinder, Louisiana. This is where Pam grew up with her parents and her two brothers, Bobby and Dale. While in Kinder, Pam and Danny LeJeune proudly welcomed their son, Derrick, into the world in 1970. They lived there until Pam, Derrick & the Bentleys relocated to Tyler, TX in 1973. It was here that she started working at People’s Bank and quickly got noticed by Wayne Rogers. She fell in love and married Wayne on September 22, 1974 at the Tyler Rose Garden. They were married for 20 years. During this time, she went on to work at First Baptist Church of Tyler and then John Tyler High School as a secretary. Pam graduated from The University of Texas at Tyler in 1997 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. She went on to a career she would love, teaching kindergarten in Jacksonville, TX for 17 years in their dual language program. As her mental health rapidly declined, she moved to Wesley House Assisted Living in Lindale, TX. She absolutely adored her friends and “chosen family” that she met during her years living there. In every stage of life, each person who crossed her path would comment on her sweet, kind, gentle demeanor. Pam always collected angel memorabilia and many referred to her as “an angel on earth.” She enjoyed crafting, entertainment of all sorts that would make her laugh, animals, children and spending time with friends. What she loved the most, however, was her family. She loved cheering on her 2 granddaughters in all their endeavors. Her son and his family were her pride and joy. Pam was preceded in death by her mother, Mildred, her father, John, and her brothers, Bobby and Dale. She is survived by her son, Derrick, daughter-in-love, Elizabeth, granddaughters Rachel and Faith Rogers, all of Lindale, as well as extended family, both biological and chosen, who love her very much. A come and go visitation will be held for all loved ones to pay their respects on Saturday, September 26, 2020 from 5:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. at Caudle-Rutledge-Daugherty Funeral Home in Lindale, TX. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in her memory to the Alzheimer’s Association as they fight to find a cure for Alzheimer’s or to the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County as they work to support by coming alongside the sufferers of this disease as well as their caregivers.
