Bertha Rogers

Bertha Mae Rogers, 82, of Carlisle, formerly of Shippensburg, passed away Wednesday, July 20, 2016 in the Select Specialty Hospital at Camp Hill.

She was born October 2, 1933 in English, West Virginia. Bertha was a daughter of the late Toy and Ada O’Quinn Jackson.

She was a member of the Church of God Pentecostal, Shippensburg.

Bertha was a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, pastor's wife, and friend. Her time was spent mostly on relationships. Family was very important to her and she readily declared how proud she was of each one of them. She loved to read her Bible and stay informed about current events. She enjoyed all these things, as well as, a good jigsaw puzzle and a hot cup of tea. If she met you on the street, or in a hospital hallway she would strike up a conversation and eventually ask you, "Do you know Jesus loves you?"

Bertha is survived by her husband The Rev. Doyle B. Rogers whom she married July 27, 1952, two daughters, E. Ruth (Thomas) Provins of Newville, and Deonna C.
