Obituary
San Benito, Texas -
Betty Lou Prentiss Rogers went to be with the Lord on Friday morning, November 25, 2016 in Harlingen, Texas.
Betty Lou was born to a Pioneer San Benito family on May 19, 1927 in San Benito, Texas. Most of her life was spent in the San Benito area, where she grew up. Betty Lou was in the National Honor Society and "High Five", and made straight A's in high school. Upon graduation in 1945, she attended Texas A & I in Kingsville, Texas where she met a young Army Air Corps Pilot, Donald G. Rogers, recently discharged and attending college. They were united in Marriage June 5, 1948 and were inseparable during their years of marriage.
Betty Lou was preceded in death by her father and mother, Amos and Ethel Prentiss; as well as her husband, Donald G. Rogers, brother, Robert G. Prentiss and two grandsons, David Michael Rogers and Baby Boy Rogers.
Betty Lou is survived by her son Stephen Prentiss Rogers and wife, Kathy Diane; son John David Rogers and wife, Nancy; and two grandchildren Hannah Rogers and Johnathon Rogers; as well as step-grandchildren Rachel Smith Gambill and Joel Smith. Betty Lou is also survived by several cousins.
Betty Lou was a homemaker to her young family and completed her college education when her sons were small; and she later taught at Fred Booth Elementary in San Benito for 28 years. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, San Benito. Her faith in the Lord never waivered, and strengthened through-out her life.
Betty Lou's interest lie in her family, her artistic nature and her love of animals, specifically cats, visiting friends and family, and riding around the valley and remembering times past. She never met a stranger.
Graveside services will be held Monday, November 28 at 10:00 a.m. at Mont-Meta, San Benito with Pastor Mark Coppins, First Christian Church, Harlingen, officiating.
A special "Thank You" to Tami Dittburner, ANP/BC; William Torkildsen, M.D. for their excellent care of Mother for many years. Also Thank You to Valley View Memory Care and their staff, and Cima Hospice and their staff for their loving care and comfort in Mothers' final chapter of Life.
