Lena May (Lee) Rogerson, 87, passed away peacefully Oct. 22, 2018. She was born Jan. 11, 1931, to Roy and Laura H. (Barbee) Phelps in Casper, Wyo.

Lee and her family moved to the Centralia area in the 1940s, where she graduated from High School. In August of 1949, Lee married Arthur Eugene Rogerson, who passed away in 2012.

Lee retired in the early 1990s, after over 25 years with the food service at Centralia College. For many years, Lee and Art were avid bowlers and loved to travel. Their hundreds of pictures from cruises and various trips attest to this.
