Betty Jane Rogers (Leach)

Betty Jane Rogers (Leach) of Farmington passed away at her beloved home at Peachtree Village on Sunday, September 29, 2019. She was born on March 4, 1927 in Newport, Arkansas to Charles Frank Leach and Celia Elma Leach (McMillin). Betty was a constant reader, a lover of chocolates, and an avid collector of teddy bears. Ms. Betty was the "candy lady" at Peachtree Village, sharing her pleasures with friends and staff as a sign of love and thanks. She waited patiently for 31 years for her time to reunite with the one love of her life, her husband Neal, who died unexpectedly in 1988. She is finally at peace. She was preceded in death by her parents; one brother, Charles Albert; two sisters, Rhoda Mae and Mary Francis; and her beloved husband, Herbert Neal Rogers. She is survived by two sons, Michael and his wife Rosemary of Farmington and David and his wife Lisa of Metairie, La; one sister, Bobbie Massey of Newport; 4 grandchildren and their spouses, Brian and Tiffiany, Christina and TJ, Christopher and Tori, and Brandon and Amelia; and 6 great-grandchildren, Jacob, Maddi, Caden, Gabriella, Kamden, and Elliose. Arrangements are with Beard's Funeral Chapel in Fayetteville. A private graveside service is planned for the family in Searcy, Ark. The family requests no flowers.
