She was a member of First Christian Church.

She is also survived by her brother-in-law, Jim Menius; sister-in-law, Luddy Rogers; and several nieces and nephews she loved very much.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, William Curtis Rogers, J.C. Rogers and Faris C. Rogers, and sisters, Violet R. Brown and Joyce R. Menius.
Dot's family would like to acknowledge the staff of Kitty Askins Hospice Center and the staff at Brookdale Berkeley, as well as the friends, caregivers, nurses and physicians, who had a profound impact on the quality of Dot's life in recent years.
