Terry

Rogers

Terry Rogers, born on July 24, 1952, in Oakdale, California, passed away on September 11, 2026, in Grove, Oklahoma, surrounded by the love and memories of a life well lived. She was a woman whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and energy to every room she entered, and she will be remembered with deep affection by all who knew her.

Terry lived a life marked by devotion to her family, her work, and the simple joys that made her happiest. In 1968, she married Leonard Dean Myers in California, and together they built a life centered on hard work, family, and perseverance. They owned and operated a cafe in the Bay area of California, where they poured their hearts into serving others while raising their children. In their spare time they loved to have fun and dance the night away. Through those years, Terry showed the strength, determination, and steady love that defined her life.

She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who cherished her family above all else. Terry was preceded in death by her parents, Lee and Mary Jones, and by her children, Ashley DeMartini, Charles Myers, Nonnie Lofton, and Leonard Myers, Jr. She was also preceded in death by her siblings, Mary, Therea, Shirley, and Patricia; her late husband, Red Rogers. He was a great companion and they cared for each other deeply. Her family was the center of her world, and she carried both joy and sorrow with remarkable grace and courage.

Those who survive her include her grandchildren, whom she loved dearly, Della Cupp Deena DeMartini, Dalbie Lofton, Zachary Myers, Michael Myers, Charles Myers, Gump Lofton, Angel Venegas, and Challes Kershaw. She is also survived by several great-grandchildren, who brought her great happiness, and by her beloved dog, Chub Chub, who was a constant companion and source of comfort. Chub Chub always helped her finish her cheesburgers. Her surviving siblings, Deborah Lee Rorabaugh, Florence Etta Bohrer, and Shannon Bernard Jones, also carry forward her memory and the bond of family she treasured so deeply.

Terry was known for her adventurous spirit, her thoughtful heart, and her loving nature. She enjoyed going to yard sales and spending time at the casino, and she was always the life of the party. Her laughter, her stories, and her spirited personality made her unforgettable to those fortunate enough to know her. She had a way of making people feel welcome and included, and her joy for life was evident in the way she lived each day.

Even in the face of illness, Terry remained strong. She fought hard and long with her disease because she did not want to leave her grandchildren, whom she loved with all her heart. That fierce devotion reflected the depth of her love and the extraordinary bond she shared with her family. Her courage throughout her final days was a testament to the same determination that carried her through life.
