Mrs. Rogers gained her Heavenly reward on September 11, 2025, surrounded by her family.

She was born October 29, 1944, at Cincinnati, Ohio, to Charles Lowery and Hazel Brumley Lowery.  She was married on January 16, 1965, in the middle of a blizzard to Frank Lee Rogers.  Rita was a Godly woman with a feisty spirit.  Frank would warn the grandkids not to make her mad or she would get her tomahawk out.  Rita believed Jesus Christ was her Lord and Savior; she received her salvation at a very young age.  In 1977, s he became a Minister’s wife and was the prayer warrior behind her husband’s ministry.  With much hesitation, in 1995, she went on her first mission trip for Christmas in Mexico.  That was the year God gave her the burden and she never missed a year after that.  Rita had a close relationship with God and would pray daily for the ministry of others.  She loved her country and would encourage others, sometimes rather loudly, to vote in elections. 

Rita was blessed with three children, Mark Rogers (Dianna), Michael Rogers and Shannon Rogers Collins (Kevin); thirteen grandchildren, Christopher Moore,  Jordan Collins (Felicia), Kaitlin Rogers (Casey), Jacob Rogers (Leah), Kellsie Rogers Mathenia (Logan), Michaela Rogers, Julianna Rogers, Kendra Collins Romine (Charlie), Jarrett Young, Jalene Canada, Lonnie Canada, Joni Canada and Tyler Phipps; sixteen great-grandchildren
