Anna Mae Jeske Rogers, age 96, passed away April 11, 2026, at Hillside Assisted Living in Keller, Texas. Friends are invited to her Celebration of Life Visitation, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, May 1, 2026, at the Cavitt Caufield Center, 300 S. Jefferson Ave., McGregor, Texas.

Anna Mae was born June 8, 1929, in the home of her grandparents in McGregor, Texas. She grew up on a farm where her mother taught her how to cook with love for her family, with everything being made from scratch. Anna Mae's favorite items to make were yeast breads and coffee cakes. Her famous "Granny's Pickles" were much loved by her family and especially her grandchildren, who often left Granny's with their very own jar to take home. Besides her joy of cooking, Anna Mae's hobbies included tending to her plants, listening to music, and in her younger years, dancing. Throughout her adult life, Anna Mae was very active in the Zion Lutheran Church of McGregor where she served many roles over the years, most notably the Sympathy Committee. She looked forward to the annual Christmas Eve Program each year and attended as long as she was able.

Anna Mae married James Fletcher Rogers August 31, 1951, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Crawford, Texas. Together they raised three children, Janet, Martha, and Pat. After Pat began school, Anna Mae went to work at the First National Bank in McGregor. She worked there for 26 & 1/2 years where she operated the proof machine. Anna Mae enjoyed her job and visited with everyone that walked through the doors. Many Halloweens she would show up to the bank dressed in costume, entertaining everyone she encountered. Anna Mae was always about having a good time and enjoying life to the fullest. Her family would like to express their deep appreciation for the extremely loving care she received from all her caretakers at Hillside Assisted Living in Keller, Texas.

Anna Mae was preceded in death by her husband James Rogers, daughters Janet Rogers Knox and Martha Rogers Therrell, and her grandson Adam Blake Therrell. Survivors include her son Pat Rogers and wife Amy; grandchildren Chris Knox and wife Shelbie, Amy Knox and Martin Votruba, Jr., Andrew Therrell and wife Amanda, Caleb Rogers, Nickolas Rogers, Katy Rogers and fiancée Steven Hejl; great grandchildren Madison Knox, Emma Knox, Kane Ramirez, Nadia Ramirez, AJ Therrell, Caroline Therrell, Harper Therrell, Hallie Therrell, Gavin Rogers, Jillian Rogers, Everly Rogers, and Watson Rogers.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests Zion Lutheran Church, P.O. Box 156, McGregor, Tx 76657 for memorial contributions. Most of all, Anna Mae would want each of you to spend time with your family, love them, and find some fun in each and every day.
