Esther Ann Rogers, 78, died Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015, in Springerville. She was born May 5, 1937, in Herkimer, New York, the daughter of Ralph Lorenzo and Florence Isabel Johnson Lowell.
Esther was a beloved wife and devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was known for her spunky personality and love for her family and friends.
She was raised in upstate New York and ventured out west as a young adult, eventually meeting her husband, Charlie, and becoming his partner for 49-½ years.
Esther showed her love for her family through food; she was a great cook.
