Private Family Graveside Services will be held Wednesday, May 13, 2020 at Bold Springs Cemetery near West. LIVE STREAM of the service will be provided.

She attended schools in Waco. On December 24, 1942 she was united in marriage to R.B. "Buddy" Rogers in Waco. Buddy preceded her in death on February 12, 2007. Buddy and Pauline moved to Rogers Hill in 1946 and owned the Rogers Hill Store for 47 years. To say Pauline had a servant’s heart would be an understatement. There have been many neighbors, friends and family through the years who count on Pauline to take them in for as long as they needed. Rogers Hill Store was a place of community and fellowship for so many because Buddy and Pauline always had a place at their table. To know Pauline Rogers, was to love her. She enjoyed country music, dancing, going to the casino, playing cards, Bingo and the best of days was any day with her entire family. To be Nene’s grandchild was a true gift. Pauline is also preceded in death by her parents; her siblings Bill Mounce, Myrtle McKinney, Dorothy Rudinger, Kay French, Butch Mounce and Barbara Fisher; and her best friend of over 65 years, Lucy McCartney.
