Josephine (Jo) Rogers passed away on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at the age of 
87. 

Beloved wife of the late Hardie Rogers. Loving mother of Theresa (Tere) 
Anzalone (Gene), Cherie Bernard-Frobish (Matt Frobish), William Hardie Rogers 
(Helen), and J. Winston Rogers (Hifae). Daughter of the late Malcolm and Mae 
Williams. Sister of Mildred Culbertson and the late Eugene Williams, Maurice 
Williams, Fred Williams, Malcolm (Bud) Williams and Robert E. Williams. 
Grandmother of Brittany Russell; Benjamin, Nathan and Hannah Bernard; Catherine 
Crutchfield, W. Joshua and Monique Rogers; Olivia and Christopher Rogers. 
Great-grandmother of Charlotte Mae Russell. 
Also survived by nieces and nephews. 

Jo met the love of her life (Hardie) in 1945 while attending college in Athens, 
TN. They married in 1946 and spent the next 20 years in Pennington Gap, VA 
before moving to Covington in 1967. 
Jo was a beautiful and compassionate wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt 
and friend. She had a dynamic personality and never met a stranger. She loved 
to laugh with others and her unique gift was the ability to laugh at herself. 
Her antique business, Jo’s Antiques, was well known in the area and fostered 
many strong friendships throughout the years. “Miss” Jo could always been seen 
around town wearing one of her beloved hats. She was truly a lady of a bygone 
era and will be greatly missed by all of the people she touched in her life. 

During the last few years of her life, she was troubled with congestive heart 
failure and had been with Interim Hospice Care since January. The nurses and 
aides who took care of her – with a very special mention to Vera – were very 
attentive to her needs and respectful of her wishes. Towards the end of her 
life, About You Sitting Service assisted with her care in a very thoughtful 
manner. 

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral services 
on Monday, August 26, 2013 at Collins Blvd. Baptist Church, 1501 Collins Blvd. 
Covington, LA 70433 at 2:00 PM with visitation at church on Monday from 1:00 PM 
until service time. 

Interment will be at a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions in memory of Mrs. Rogers 
to be made to Collins Blvd. Baptist Church or American Heart Association. 

E.J. Fielding Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
