Mary "Nee-ewe gobba-wii kwe" Lou Rogers, age 56, passed away on March 21, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Mary was born to Mabel (Merrill) and Walter Rogers on June 16, 1968, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mary, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, who left us after a courageous battle. Mary brought joy and laughter to all who knew her, and her spirit will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of sharing in her life.

Mary had a passion for life's simple pleasures. She found joy in playing pool, enjoying meals out, and spending time shopping. A frequent visitor to the casino, she was known for her love of bingo. Mary also cherished her time spent with family and friends at cookouts. A proud fan of the Denver Broncos, she never missed a chance to cheer on her team.

Her love for summer events was evident, especially when it involved making memories with her grandchildren. Whether it was a day of sightseeing or exploring new places, Mary embraced the opportunity to travel, always eager to discover new experiences. Her adventurous spirit took her far and wide, and in the past five years, she traveled more than she ever could have imagined, a true testament to her resilience and determination.

Mary also had a soft spot for Snoopy, and the little things in life—like a favorite character or a peaceful moment with loved ones—brought her true joy. She was well-loved by many, and her kind heart and warm smile will never be forgotten.

Mary leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched. Rest in peace, Mary. Your light will continue to shine in our hearts forever.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Mabel and Walter, and brothers, Wendell, Pokey, and Bill.
