Pastor Victor Sewell Rogers, 82, passed away Thursday, August 10, 2006, in Sun City, California. Vic had fallen in his backyard on April 23, breaking his neck. He was making a good recovery and was to come home soon. On July 25, he told family he was ready to be with the Lord. The next day he suffered a massive stroke.
His wife, Vivien Jane Rogers from Sun City, survives him. They were married for 61 years. He is survived by two daughters, Ruth Ann Rogers Mayes and Sharon Louise White, both of California, and by eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, two siblings, Catherine Lingenfelter (wife of Galen Lingenfelter) from Pasadena, California, and Levi Ellis Rogers from Sun City Center, Florida.
