Marjorie was born on March 31, 1921, the 8th child of Oliver and Maggie Fleshman in La Grande. She attended school in a one room schoolhouse. Then she went to the big school in town. She graduated from La Grande High School.
At the age of 18, Marjorie met the love of her life, William Rodney Rogers from Hermiston, at Cove Church Camp. They dated for three years. When horseback riding he said “let’s get hitched as those old nags are.” They got married on August 16, 1942 in La Grande.
Marjorie and Rodney had three children, “the three R’s”: Rodney II, Renee and Richard. They lived in Pilot Rock and Pendleton. They were married for 62 ½ years.
Marjorie worked as a telephone operator, at the Sherwood School and as a homemaker. She was a wonderful cook, good mother and good teacher. She enjoyed gardening. She loved her family and was very much loved by her family.
As a member of the Pendleton Free Methodist Church she enjoyed her church family, especially the Thursday ladies bible study group.
Marjorie’s parting words were “thumbs UP to Jesus. I’m going to Heaven.”
Marjorie outlived all of her brothers and sisters. She is survived by Rodney II and Toni Rogers of Pendleton, Renee and Pete Banning of Greenville, N.C., and Richard and Cristy Rogers of Pendleton, seven grandchildren and ten great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews.
