Ms. Betty Evelyn Rogers, 71, of Gadsden, passed away on Friday, August 23, 2024.

Ms. Betty E. Rogers began life’s journey on November 28, 1952, to the late O’Tearl Trimble Smith and the late James Hoyt Almon. Ms. Rogers accepted Christ as her Lord and personal Savior. She received her education in the Gadsden City school system and later obtained her GED. She enjoyed cooking and spending time with her family and friends. She had a passion for caring for the clients at The Renaissance
House in Gadsden, Alabama. In her free time, she often enjoyed going to the casinos for relaxation. Ms. Rogers was blessed with five children.

On Friday, August 23, 2024, GOD saw fit to call “Betty” or “Bet” (as many knew her by) home. Her probationary status on this earth ended and her permanent reign with the Lord began. We will all miss her contagious smile and kind heart, but she will never be forgotten.
