August 30, 1966 – May 16, 2025

Carrollton, Texas -- Kellie Dawn Rogers, 58, passed away on May 16, 2025, in Plano, Texas. She was born on August 30, 1966, in Tulsa, Oklahoma—an only child whose determined spirit and deep sense of family became lifelong hallmarks of her character.

Those who knew Kellie remember her for warmth, loyalty, and quiet strength. Her love made others feel safe, supported, and deeply known. She held family together through steady faithfulness and everyday grace.

Kellie is survived by her loving mother, Deena Herod, and her devoted husband of 40 years, Randy Rogers. Randy and Kellie were married on October 5, 1984, beginning a life together marked by deep love and shared faith. She was a proud and loving mother to her sons, Spencer and Zachary Rogers. She watched with pride as they became loving husbands and fathers. Her seven grandchildren—Barrett, Reed, Landry, Norah, Bowen, Lainey, and Collins Rogers—knew her as “Gigi.” They saw her as a constant source of encouragement, joy, and affection. She was their biggest fan.

Kellie welcomed her daughters-in-law, Kylie Rogers and Kathryn Rogers, not only into her family but also into her heart. She often expressed how thankful she felt to have such strong, kind women to love her sons and raise her grandchildren.

Her extended family held a special place in her life. She is also survived by her uncle, Ivan Burton, and his daughter, Darcie Burton; her uncle and aunt, Kenneth and Nancy Herod, and their son, Justin Herod, and his wife, Dawn. She is lovingly remembered by her sister-in-law, Jennifer Farve, who was more than family—she was a true sister and lifelong friend—and by Jennifer’s husband, Arthur Farve Jr., who will officiate her memorial. Kellie treasured their daughters: Arielle Farve Deer (and her husband, Ché), Abigail Brown (and her husband, Caleb), and Anna Farve. Her brother-in-law, Calvin Rogers, and his sons, Joshua and Caleb Rogers, also survive her.

Her parents-in-law, Margaret “Peggy” Rogers and Alvie Rogers, preceded her in death, along with her aunt, Susie Burton, and her cousin, Johnny Herod.

Kellie had a gift for capturing beauty in ordinary moments. With a camera in hand, she documented the lives of those she loved—birthdays, ballgames, cabin trips, or simple afternoons in the yard.

She was passionate about football, especially when it meant cheering from the stands as her sons or grandchildren played. She cheered the loudest, photographed the proudest, and hugged the tightest at the end of each game.

Above all, Kellie lived her faith. It wasn’t loud or performative, but woven into everything she did—how she loved, how she forgave, how she stood firm through life’s trials. Her strength came from deep roots, and she passed that strength on to the next generation by living it.

Some of her happiest days were spent at the family cabin in Arkansas. She loved riding ATVs through the woods, drinking coffee on the porch, and watching the sun dip behind the trees with her family close by.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 24, at First Baptist Church at the Fields located at 1401 Carrollton Parkway, Carrollton, Texas 75010, officiated by her brother-in-law, Arthur Ray Farve Jr. Visitation for family and friends will take place on Friday, May 23, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., also at First Baptist Church at the Fields.

Funeral arrangements are being overseen by Cooper-Sorrells Funeral Home, located at 2022 North Center St., Bonham, TX 75418.

Pallbearers:
Cameron Burger, Collin Heusinkveld, Jordan Heusinkveld, Lyman Carpenter, Che Deer, Caleb Brown.

Kellie will be laid to rest at Bettes Cemetery located on County Road 2025, Ivanhoe, Texas, near her beloved grandparents, Norman and Dorothy Herod.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
