Lula Rogers Obituary

Lula Mae Rogers, 70, was born to eternal life on March 19, 2012. She was born in Greensboro, Alabama on February 8, 1942, daughter of the late Enoch and Willie Mae (nee: Woods) Long, Sr. Shortly after graduating from the Hale County Training School she moved to Racine where she enjoyed a long career in retail sales. She began working at Racine Office Supply, and later held positions at Carson Pierre Scott, S & K Menswear, and Sears where she retired. Lula enjoyed traveling with friends, SHOPPING, and keeping up-to-date with the latest trends in fashion and makeup. She was a true "people person" who felt that a stranger was just a friend she hadn't met yet. Most of all she loved her family. It was important to her for everyone to gather on a regular basis to share a meal, laugh together, and keep the family bonds strong. Lula is survived by her devoted son, Ricky Rogers; three brothers, Enoch (Joyce) Long Jr., Moses (Sue) Long, and Robert (Pamela) Long; four sisters, Eva Mae (Harry) Jones, Annie Long, Rosa Lee Long-Davies, and Barbara (David) Griggs; three aunts, Eliza Woods, Annie Woods, and Mittie Mayfield; special nieces, LaToya Long, and Antoinette Benison and many other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Irene Richardson, Ruth Owens, and Isabella Benison; and uncles, Joseph Woods, Albert Woods, and Rev. E.E. Woods, Jr. Homegoing celebration will be held on Monday, March 26, 2012, 11:00am, at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church (11th St. and Grand Ave.) with Bishop L.L. Kirby officiating. Burial will follow at Graceland Cemetery. Visitation and viewing will be in the funeral home on Sunday evening from 4pm - 6pm, and in the church on Monday beginning at 10am. Special Thanks to the staff at Washington Manor, and United Hospital System - Kenosha.

Hi Ricky, Your mom is still in our hearts and minds. As you may know she meant a lot to us as a friend and co worker, she always had a smile on her face and always a kind word for anyone she came in contact with plus she was a very sharp dresser. Rest in peace.

~ A Higher Love~ My Condolences go out to The Family and Friend of (Lula Mae Rogers)

No matter how much we prepare; it's impossible to forecast this day
All we can do is wear a smile for you and the love God sent our way
God sent you to us to keep our hearts full of unconditional love
And I think it's safe to say that you exceeded his every expectation
You did a wonderful job on earth; now it's time for your celebration

While we're celebrating; you will be elevating to a higher love
It's more like graduating from earth to heaven and what God does
You'll see tears and smiles simultaneously, because it's bitter sweet
Knowing that the rest of our lives will always be incomplete
But we understand that God needs you more than friends and family

So we won't hesitate to send your soul to a much higher place
Just remember; the memories we know, they will never be erased
Once you reach that higher love, look God in the eye for us
And give him our thanks for choosing his son to die for us
And every once in a while; crack a smile through the sky for us

No matter where we go; you'll be with us until we see you again
In that higher love, with the most blessed women and men
Recovering from your absence will definitely take some time
Even when we grasp it, our vision of you will never become blind
We'll just know you're in a higher love, a love that's one of a kind
