Wilma Jean Rogers, age 82 of Sparta, Missouri passed away Tuesday, January 11, 2022, in Nixa Nursing and Rehab Center, Nixa, Missouri. At the time of her passing, Wilma was surrounded by her loving family and the wonderful care team that provided care for her the past two years. She was born May 5, 1939, the daughter of Henry and Coy A. (Wright) Willis and the youngest of nine children. On July 12, 1954, and at the young age of 15, Wilma was united in marriage to Charles Rogers. Together they celebrated 60 years of marriage before Charles passed away on January 6, 2015.
