August 6, 1956 - September 16, 2025
Emerald Isle, North Carolina - Camille Rogers Schaffer, 69, of Emerald Isle, NC, died suddenly on September 16th, while on vacation in Paris, France. Born August 6, 1956, in Creedmoor, NC, she was the third and youngest daughter of Mary Ella Jenkins and John Beverly Rogers.

An avid sports spectator, Camille loved rooting for the Baltimore Orioles, Carolina Hurricanes, and all UNC sports teams – her favorite being UNC's Basketball and Women's Soccer. Camille loved spending time at the beach and traveling the world with her family.
