Covington

Mary Lucy Christian Rogers, 94, died peacefully surrounded by her loving family on June 21, 2022.

Mary was born on May 8, 1928 and was a lifelong resident of Newton County. She was “Mama” to Diane, Henry, and Fay, and “Mema” to 5 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and to all that knew her.

Mary worked for Bibb Manufacturing Company for 36 years, where after retirement she took great pleasure in caring for all of her grandchildren. Mary loved working in the yard until her health prevented it. Her pastimes included reading, coloring, word find books, and watching her favorite show, Wheel of Fortune.

Mary is preceded in death by her parents, H.P. and Mildred Christian; husband, Frank Rogers; grandson, Michael Autry; and sisters, Louise Christian, Martha Lester, Virginia Aaron, and Glenda Lord.

Mary is survived by her children, Diane Sale, Henry and Fay Cofer; her grandchildren; Kim (Shawn) Malcom, Al (Daphne) Cofer, Kayla (Patrick) Smith, and Justin (Laken) Cofer; her great-grandchildren; Makenzie Bell, Maggie Malcom, Samantha and Maddie Autry, Jade Cofer, Aidan Kelly, Ella and Thomas Smith, and Adelyn, Peyton, and Annistyn Cofer; sister, Ann Deerman; several nieces and nephews; and her “bestest friend”, Louise Oliver.

Mary was a member of Crosspointe Church on Byrd Road, in Oxford. Mary loved her family unconditionally, was a friend to everyone she met, and always ready to lend a helping hand and brighten the lives of others. The legacy of her hard work, kind spirit, and zest for life will live on through her family and friends.
