Margie G. Rogers passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at Westview Health Care Center in Sheridan, Wyoming.  At ninety one years young, Margie possessed a youthful attitude and a flamboyant, inspirational personality.

Margie was born to Jacob and Amanda (Graff0 Achenbach in Dayton, Wyoming in 1921.  She grew up in Dayton and attended Dayton High School.  There, she taught Sunday School and met Arnold Shearin, Jr., a United States Marine.  In June of 1941, she and Arnold wed in Hardin, Montana.  Born to them were two sons, George H. Shearin and A. Terry Shearin.

After three short years of marriage, Arnold Shearin, Jr. was killed in active duty, and Margie moved to Port Arthur, Texas to re-0build a life for herself and her two sons.  It was there that she met Thomas D. Rogers, whom she wed in September 1945.  Together, they had two children, R. Danny Rogers and Shelley A. Rogers (Barbula).

Margie was preceded in death by her sisters, Murrel Achenbach, Elsie Fauver, Myrtle Sawyer, Jessie Green, Isabelle Olsen, Grace Jones, and Vera Smith, by her brothers, Lloyd and Lester Achenbach, and by a grand daughter, Kristina Shearin..
