In addition to J.D., and her parents and beloved grandparents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Joseph Rogers; son, Jon P. "Tige" Rogers, and stepchildren Katherine "Kathy Jo" Bush and Joseph "Craig" Rogers.

Sandee was my Aunt by marriage to my Uncle Joe Rogers, but even after his death in 1977, she was always "Our Family".
She was a truly amazing and talented lady who truly loved those around her. While her loss leaves us with sadness, she is finally reunited with so many that left this Earth before her.
Rest easy Aunt Sandee. I love you and will miss you. Till we meet again, I know that God is Blessing you.

What a fantastic lady. She was so talented and just an inspiration to be around. We always chatted at Kroger when we were shopping, sometimes for 30 minutes or longer. We met through J.D. and the University and Musical Arts Guild. Her memory will always be a blessing.

So sad to hear of Sandee´s passing, but excited for her that she is in heaven now with the Lord. I attended First United Methodist Church for 18 years. She gave me organ lessons in 2001 and helped me learn well enough to play in my church. I will always be grateful to her for helping me achieve my dream of playing the pipe organ. She was always a talented music director and organist, and was loved and respected by many.
