Joyce Long Rogers
Joyce Long Rogers went to be with our Lord on 5/8/19. She was born in Bay City, Texas on November 22, 1926. The Long family moved to Dickinson when she was 13 and she made her home there for the rest of her life. She is survived by her son Jay Rogers and wife Julie, grandchildren Lauren Rogers Ellis and husband Leigh Ellis, Barrett Rogers, great grandson Harrison Ellis, and brother Steven Long. Joyce is survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins including Rene’ Nations and Clint Ferguson. Joyce majored in Homemaking, Motherhood and loving others. She was an active member of Faith Lutheran Church for many years. Joyce has been cared for by the wonderful staff at Tuscany Village and Traditions Hospice for the past two years. The family would like to thank them for their love and care. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the American Heart Association of Houston.
In her honor a visitation will be held 2:00 – 5:00 PM, Friday, May 10, 2019, at Crowder Funeral Home, Dickinson, Texas.
Jay and Julie:
Thinking of you, wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, and comfort in the midst of pain.
Affectionatly known as “Aunt Joyce” by many, Dear Joyce was a wonderful, God Loving woman with spirit and beauty known by all who knew her. I will never forget her. She was the Matriarch of her family and cared for them all.. She had a wonderful since of humor and spread her love of the Lord with everyone she encountered. We are sad for her passing, but know she is blessed to be in Paradise now! God be with family and give them Peace. Until we all get to see her again and celebrate The Sweet By and By, we Love You Joyce and rest in the arms of the Lord.
Thank God for our Mothers
If life were without water, where would we be?
If life were without mothers,
There would be no you or me.
We all need to take hold, of how precious life really is,
and not take for granted the gift of love and the ability to give.
Thank you to God for creating us all
For giving us our mothers
So we can stand proud and tall.
Humans are no accident, no mistake or error
We sometimes live our lives in fear of this,
Even to the point of terror.
But when the truth is told, and recognized by all,
God does not create rubbish. He knew what he was doing when he created
me and you, but the best gift of all, is giving us loving, caring
Mothers who love us unconditionally through and through.
None of us are perfect, that includes ourselves and family.
Hold onto how precious we are and thank God for our mothers.
Amen
My thoughts are prayers are with Jay and family during this difficult time.
I always thought of her as such a sweet sweet lady. Hugs and prayers to all especially Jay , Julie and Rene
