For most of her adult life, Rena was an intergral part of the Effie & J.C. "Black" Rogers family home. During those almost 60 years Rena helped raise their four children, David, Tommie, Mary Katherine & Kelly, as well as their grandchildren. Rena was such an important part of their lives and always fondly ... referred to them as "my children". She was a strong and loving woman and her memory and spirit will live on in their lives.
