Nancy Ellen Rogers
(1943 – 2025)
Now rejoicing before the throne of God and forever with our Lord Jesus Christ, Nancy Ellen Rogers is free.
Born to John and Norma Harter of New Castle, Indiana, Nancy was the oldest of three children, followed by her sister Zeta and brother Barry.
After graduating from high school, Nancy pursued cosmetology and eventually owned her own salon. She later became a consultant and successful director with Mary Kay, Inc., where she inspired and supported her team members, associates, and customers for many years.
Nancy had a deep love for children and was a devoted mother to three of her own: Michelle, Melissa, and Ron—each one dearly loved. Her family continued to grow with the blessing of six grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
She is survived by her loving husband, Michael Rogers of Texas; her siblings, their spouses, and children in Indiana; her daughter Michelle Thrash and husband Mark (Texas); daughter Melissa Garner and husband John (Indiana); son Ron Rogers and wife Rebecca (Texas); as well as her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A private ceremony and service will be held by the family.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the crisis pregnancy ministry: Woman 2 Woman, P.O. Box 610, Denton, TX 76202. Or, to any organization dedicated to saving the lives of unborn children.
