Alix Rogers

Alix Sandra Rogers

July 6, 1941 ~ August 25, 2019

Alix Sandra Rogers, 78, returned to her heavenly home on Sunday, August 25, 2019 from the effects of chronic conditions she has fought to overcome for several years. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her in her challenges and ultimately gave her peace.

Alix was born to the late Gordon Kenneth Downey and Aida Downey in Watertown, NY on July 6, 1941.

Amidst personal challenges, she raised a family of five sons and one daughter. During this time, she converted to the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which was a great turning point in her life. She was a hard-working, fiercely loyal, deeply loving mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend and advocate, always taking those under her wing that needed help and sound advice.

She enjoyed listening to music, reading books, sharing in lively conversation, serving, crafts, sewing, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with anyone that was willing to listen. She baked a multitude of cookies at Christmas to share with neighbors and friends. While seated, she singlehandedly stopped a baseball in a family game, with the bottom of her foot. Stained glass and the shopping channel were some of her passions. She ran her own medical billing business, winning many awards in the process. Alix always had an encouraging word. Laughed and loved.

Alix was preceded in death by her sweetheart, Gail Monroe Rogers. She is survived by her sons; Rick (Jen), Dave (Monika), Joe (Chat), Mike, Tommy (Sherri); and daughter Emily; twenty-three grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren with one on the way.
