During her life, Marcia worked endlessly to support her husband and her children. She was the first Librarian at the Pingree School in Hamilton, MA, where Robin was the Headmaster. She started the Audio-Visual Department at St. George's School in 1974, when Robin returned there as a teacher, and continued in that role until her retirement in 1994. She served as a friend and counselor to many parents and children at the school, always opening her house to fellow faculty, students, parents, and alumni. Most of these efforts went unnoticed in her day.
Never aggressive on her own behalf, she was a fierce advocate for her family and friends. Her convictions and values were clear and unwavering. She abhorred gossip, superficiality, materialism and pretension. She valued friendships, privacy, literature, and family. She carried a deep respect for the feelings and thoughts of others. Her sharp wit and stubborn nature remained with her to the very end.
Her children, Caroline S. Rogers, Helene R. Rogers, and Paul H. Rogers; her daughter-in law, Rosa Lasaosa; her grandchildren, David, Sam, Sebastian and Elena; her niece, Sally Curtis; and her friends, and many, many cousins from summers together at Lazy Lawn miss her.
Family and friends are invited to a burial service at St. Columba's Chapel, 55 Vaucluse Avenue, Middletown, RI, on Wednesday, June 26th, 2019 at 2:00 p.m.
Arrangements are by the O'Neill-Hayes Funeral Home. For more information and online condolences, please visit www.oneillhayes.com.
