Obituary

Barbara Rose Rogers, 72, of Crystal Lake, Illinois, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2015, surrounded by her family.

She was born in Chicago, Illinois to the late Charles and Florence (Shields) Beutell. She attended Catholic grade and high schools in the city and then received a Bachelor's Degree from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. She earned a Master's Degree in Education from Northern Illinois University.

She taught in middle schools and community colleges in the public school system in Michigan and California. She met and married her husband George Rogers in 1967 while working at United Airlines in Chicago. In the early 1980's, she decided to start her own business, Barbara's Upholstery. She thoroughly enjoyed it for close to twenty-five years and it was there that her children acquired her strong work ethic while helping in the business from a very young age. She loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was also an extremely skilled and avid Bridge player, enjoying the game her entire life.

She is survived by her children, Geoffrey (Jessica) Rogers and Kathleen (Robert) Krystal; her grandchildren, Alex Rogers; Matthew Rogers; Mackenzie, Molly, and Morgan Krystal; a sister, Candace (Richard) Gardner; and a brother, William (Louise) Beutell.
