William Rogers Obituary

William (Bill) Lundy Rogers passed away on December 28, 2025. He was born October 25, 1941, in Raleigh to Cornelius and Elizabeth Rogers. Having lived there most of his early life and attended NC State University, he remained a lifelong, avid Wolfpack fan.

Bill married his beloved wife, Betty, and became an integral part of her children's lives; to his family, it truly felt as though he had always been there. Bill enjoyed a long career in the automotive finance field, serving clients throughout the Carolinas and Virginia.

He is predeceased by his parents; his wife, Betty; and his sister, Barbara Kane. He is survived by his 5 children, 5 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. While Bill took great pride in all his family, he held a special place in his heart for his grandson, Roger. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

A graveside service will be held at noon on March 2nd at Montlawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Broughton High School Alumni Association, PO Box 31464, Raleigh, NC 27622 (please include "William Rogers '60" in the memo).

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
