Marjorie Jeanee Rogers, 90 of Valparaiso and formerly of Merrillville, passed away Monday, December 1, 2025. She was born on December 16, 1934 in Monessen, Pennsylvania to the late, Daniel and Alice (Souply) Rogers, Sr. Marjorie worked in the office at Valparaiso Orthopedic Clinic for 28 years, retiring in 1999. She found enjoyment in the outdoors, gardening, dancing, music, and working puzzles. More recently, she enjoyed watching birds, driving her scooter fast, watching foreign films with subtitles, and maybe her favorite, tracking her family on the Find My App. Marjorie loved to travel and shared her love of traveling and enjoying life with all her family that she cherished so much. Marjorie maintained her smart wit and ability to throw out one-line zingers until her passing.
On August 15, 1953, Marjorie married William C. Rogers, who preceded her in death in January 1976. She is survived by her children, William (Jean) Rogers, Tammy (Chris) Remkus, and Meg (Perry Brne) Bassett, grandchildren, Jeffrey Alexander (Kayla Rollins) Larson, Alyssa (Jefferson) Bassett-Shatzen, Jared (Hannah Kennedy) Remkus, and Brandon Remkus; sister-in-law, Janet Rogers; favorite nieces, Faye Manalang and Trina Romer Burdett; and many other nieces and nephews.
