Elinor M. Rogers, 90

March 31, 2020

Elinor M. Rogers, 90, of Manheim Township departed this life, for the better one, quietly on March 31, 2020 at Calvary Fellowship Homes after a brief illness.

She was the wife of the late Dr. Benjamin L. Rogers (d. 2010), mother of Dan Rogers (husband of Selma Rogers), Pennsylvania and Julie Rogers, Arizona; grandmother of Melissa Agan (wife of David Welty), Virginia and Ben Rogers (husband of Thea Rogers), Pennsylvania.

Elinor was born in Baltimore, MD, excelled academically, lettered in varsity sports and was editor of her high school newspaper. She earned a B.S. from the University of Maryland and later an M.A. from Wheaton College, Wheaton, Ill.

A home maker most of her life, Elinor taught Sunday School, led women’s Bible studies, orga-nized vacation Bible schools, Christmas plays and an after-school Bible club for girls.

Both she and her husband were instrumental in the founding of a church that is now part of the Presbyterian Church of America. In recent years she attended Westminster Presbyterian Church, Lancaster, PA.

Elinor hosted, supported, prayed for and corresponded with many Christian workers and mis-sionaries and served on the board of Mukti Mission.

Also, she was a contributor to Decision Magazine, author of A Semantic Structural Analysis of Galatians for Wycliff’s Summer Institute of Linguistics, and a book editor for Christian Literature Crusade and Bible Visuals International.

She enjoyed classical music, biographies, history, geography and traveling.

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, a public service will not be held at this time. A private burial will take place in Baltimore, MD. Memorial gifts may be made at www.muktimission.us/investment or at www.biblevisuals.org.

Myself and my colleagues from Citizens Bank Manheim Township Branch would like to extend our sympathy in the passing of Elinor.  I always loved taking care of Elinor’s transactions especially in the driveup, they were always so precise. She was a lovely lady and she will be missed.

My sympathy and prayers to Elinor’s family. I became acquainted with Elinor at Westminster’s Sunday evening church service. I usually sat right in front of or near her and we would converse regularly. Unfortunately I had to eliminate evening driving and would only see her very occasionally after that. Such a difficult time to try to plan and deal with the details of a burial and service but she is now in a much better place. Praise the Lord.
