Charlotte Louise Rogers, 79, of La Porte, died peacefully, Saturday, May 16, 2026, in the comfort of her family’s presence.
Her life began August 3, 1946 in Lakeside, Michigan, one of three children born to Henry and Vivian Burtzlaff. She married Michael T. Rogers August 27, 1966 in New Buffalo, Michigan. After fifty-two years of marriage, he preceded her in death December 17, 2018.
Charlotte had a smile that could light up a room. Through loss and heartbreak, she had still remained kind and loving. She was a social butterfly surrounded by a ray of sunshine. Charlotte never met a stranger, she loved to attend gatherings, meet new people, share stories and laugh. Her and Mike used to travel the world and enjoyed their life with friends and with themselves. Charlotte loved playing card games, casinos, and she was in a Pinochle club. Charlottes was an amazing mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her family was her life.
Charlotte will be greatly missed by family and friends. She is survived by; her son, Tony (Mark) Rogers-Condon of La Porte, Indiana, two grandchildren; Analiese (George) Carvalho of Michigan City, Indiana, and Jasmine Eckert, two great grandchildren; Mila and Mason Carvalho, and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her son Greg and his wife Tonya, her grandson, Donovan, her sister Nancy “Sharon”, her brother Richard and her beloved Missy.
