CHARLESTON -- Phyllis Natalie Rogers, age 82 of Charleston, passed away on Monday (June 16, 2008) at Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center. A Memorial Service in honor and celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to Adams Funeral Chapel in Charleston. Phyllis was born in Muskegon, Michigan on July 31, 1925 a daughter of Grover and Wilma Pletcher. She was united in marriage to Richard "Dick" Rogers on December 25, 1956 at her parent's home in Muskegon. Surviving family members include Dick, her loving and devoted husband and best friend; three children, Charles Rogers and his wife Betsy of Bellevue, Nebraska, Ethan Rogers and his wife Natalie of Indianapolis and Cindy Williams and her husband Tony of Shelbyville, Tennessee; six grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; a sister, Lynda Varin and her husband Fred; three brothers, James Pletcher and his wife Sue, Don Pletcher and his wife Melanie and Tom Pletcher and his wife Mary Jo; and several nieces and nephews and their families. In addition to her parents, Phyllis was preceded in death by two sisters. Phyllis received both her Bachelors and Masters Degrees from the University of Michigan. She first accepted a position at the University of Michigan teaching theatrical costume and design. She later was employed at the well known Van Horn Costume Company in Philadelphia. Upon moving to the west coast, Phyllis taught costuming for the Mainstage Theater Department and Music Department Opera at San Diego State College. After relocating to Charleston, Dr. Gabbard at Eastern Illinois University would often utilize her costuming design and teaching skills when needed. She also found time to operate an import business and a daycare out of her home. Phyllis was a member of the Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship of Eastern Illinois. She also held memberships in the Ladies of the Elks Charleston Lodge #623 and League of Women Voters, serving as past president of both organizations. Phyllis enjoyed flower gardening and when living in the rural Oakland area, tried her hand at raising goats, chickens and ducks in addition to the family dogs and cats. She possessed an extremely friendly and outgoing personality and was easy to converse with. It was love at first sight for Phyllis and Dick – a love that continued to blossom for more than fifty-one years. She provided a warm and loving home for her family and dearly loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her memory will be cherished by her family and friends. It is requested that memorial gifts in her honor be made to the Alzheimer's Association or the Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship. Gifts may be mailed in care of Adams Funeral Chapel, 2330 Shawnee Drive, Charleston, IL 61920.
