Dorothy Ann Rogers, 86, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully June 14, 2025. She was born Nov. 9, 1938, in Ruby, Ariz., and lived in Joseph City for the last 25 years.
She has been a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has served in many callings including Relief Society President and she and Dale served in the Dilcon Branch on the reservation.
She loved traveling with friends and her sisters to have fun adventures. She rode with Dale in his semi-truck for years and loved going on rides on his Harley. She was an awesome cook, clean freak and loved scrapbooking with her daughters. Mom had an infectious laugh and was loved by all who knew her.

Dorothy was preceded in death by husband, Dale Rogers; parents, Alvin David Nelson and Eleanor Price; son-in-law, Bary Petersen; and grandchildren, Logan DeJesus and Anabell Petersen.

The viewing will begin at 9 a.m., with the ceremony to follow at 10 a.m. After the funeral, services will conclude with the dedication of the grave in the Joseph City Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to help bury our mother (a Joseph City Tradition!) We’ve got plenty of shovels!
