Diana Rodgers

September 13, 1928 - February 1, 2019

Diana (Barber) Rodgers, born on September 13, 1928 in Goodson, MO and most recently of Pilot Grove, MO, passed away in the company of family after a short illness, at Ashley Manor in Boonville, Friday evening February 1. Survivors include daughters Nance (Phipps) of Oceanside, CA, Janet (Hanson) of Tipton, MO, Becca Richards of Littleton, CO and Jennifer (King) of Texas, and sons Jerry of Glen Cove Springs, FL and Mark of Chipita Park, CO; step-children Nancy(Peterson) of Rochester, MN, Marty (Nowell) of Bend, OR, and Tom Rodgers of Jericho Springs, MO; 16 grandchildren, 15 great- grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren. Preceded in death by husband Wayne Rodgers, daughter Karen Powell, and step-son Dean Rodgers. As a nurse and caregiver for others, our Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma joyously lived life on her terms. We know she is now at peace building things, tending to her garden and animals, and fishing the lakes and streams of heaven for eternity. A celebration of life for family and friends will be planned at a later date this spring at one of her favorite fishing spots. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorials in Diana’s name for either of her favorite interests, Cooper County Humane Society or Friends of Historic Boonville through the funeral home or directly to the charity. Arrangements will be handled by H. T. May and Sons Funeral Home in Boonville.
