In Memory
of
Inez Rogers
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and
commemorates the life of Inez Rogers, who died February 21, 2011,
at the age of 91; and
WHEREAS, Mother Inez "Nanny Pooh" Rogers was born on July
26, 1919, in Sturgis, Mississippi, to Lula and Charlie Lathan; in
1936 she was married to the late Dwight L. Rogers, Sr.; and

with the Boyd Chapel Methodist Church in Sturgis; she remained a
devout Christian throughout her life; in her later years, she
moved to Michigan and worshipped with her children at the Word of
Life Christian Church and Greater Galilee Baptist Church; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Rogers retired from the Spartus Corporation
