Norma is preceded in death by her parents Nels and Zelta Nelson, her son James L. Rogers, her late husband James T. Rogers, her brothers Harold Nelson, Howard Nelson, and Morris Nelson, and her Sisters Mildred (Nelson) Hutchison, Marie (Nelson) Scribner, and Betty (Nelson) Thacker.
Norma is survived by her sons Thomas N. Rogers and Nels T. Rogers, her grandchildren Jason S. Rogers, N. Jeff Rogers, Heather (Rogers) Vessey, Timothy C.

Funeral and burial services will be held at Johnson Mortuary and Desert Lawn Memorial Park in Yuma, AZ on Saturday, August 28, 2021 at 9 am, and will be followed by a private gathering at her home.
Pallbearers will be Jason S. Rogers, Timothy C. Rogers, Nels J. Rogers, Dylan T. Rogers, Gavin Shippen, and Donald Bradford.
Honorary Pallbearers will be Bobby Lutes, Billy Lutes, and Ronald Bradford.
Norma attended and graduated from Yuma High School in Yuma, AZ in 1943. After high school, she married James T. Rogers and became a new mother at the age of 20. Norma was a consummate homemaker and raised 3 rambunctious boys along with her husband, James T. Rogers. Norma was of Swedish heritage, and was very proud of her Swedish ancestry. Norma loved horses in her early years, and thoroughly enjoyed riding her beloved horse Topsy. In her later years, she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and was also an avid pet lover - her many dogs over the years were loyal companions. She also enjoyed traveling, and especially enjoyed going on cruises that took her all over the world. Norma also loved watching old western movies, listening to Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. She was a wonderful cook, and made some of the best tapioca pudding around.
Norma will be remembered for her love of laughter, and she had a laugh that was so genuine you couldn't help but to laugh right along with her. She was loved and cherished by those who knew her, and she will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
