Rogers, Orba Evalee

Born to Robert Lee and Martha Anne Raimer Moore on November 28, 1922 
in Dewar, Oklahoma. She grew up in Porum, Oklahoma where she met and 
Married her husband, Val Rogers. They cherished each other for 46 
years only being parted by death.

They came to Kern County in 1944, Orba accepted Jesus Christ as her 
Savior at a young age and was a faithful witness of Him through her 
life and death.

Preceded in death by her husband, Val Rogers; her father and mother; 
two brothers, Lee and Robert; and two sisters, Ovella Kinslow and 
Geneva Johnson. Orba is survived by daughters, Martha Killian, Peggy 
Sharp and Sue Wilson; and son-in-law, Jimmy Wilson; 3 grandsons, 
Montye Killian, Shanon Wilson and Richie Kirkland;4 granddaughters, 
Jolene Kaldenberg, Leah Rice, Shyann Andino and Evalee Kirkland (the 
7 grandchildren will be the pallbearers); great-grandchildren, Bobby, 
Matthew, Amie, Thompson, Sarah, Mitchel, Andru, Chelsie, Phillip, 
Amanda, Jeneva, Daniel, Megan, Jeffrey, Amber, and Chris; and great-
great-grandchildren, Andru, Audry and Giana. Her remaining sister is 
June Hess of Lemoore, CA.

Besides her relationship with Jesus Christ there was nothing more 
important to her than her family. What ever she put her hand to she 
did it with all her might. Orba loved camping on Eufala Lake in 
Eastern Oklahoma where she last water skied at the age of 65. She was 
very politically inclined and treasured her right to vote. Her 
grandchildren think that she made the best feather bed around and in 
every other aspect. if grandma couldn’t do it, it couldn’t be done. 
Mother was a fantastic seamstress with a specialty in designing 
wedding gowns.

To those of us left behind our grief is great, but the assurance we 
have of a family reunion in Heaven bears us up.
