Brenda
Kay Rogers Lewis passed away Tuesday, May 13, 2014 in
Athens, Texas from heart complications. She leaves
behind a loving family who will miss her greatly. Brenda
worked 35 years for Navarro Regional Hospital as a lab
tech and over their blood bank for many of those years.
She loved taking care of the sick and took great pride
in her work. She made many friends while doing that job
and loved them all.
Brenda Kay was born Jan. 13, 1952 in Corsicana to Jody
and Joyce Rogers. That was a Friday the 13th and
she was a middle child also; which proved to be a dual
challenge during her life. She got all the broken bones
falling out of trees or jumping off the roof. Brenda
also got all the stitched cuts and had the scars to
prove it. She always bounced back like a champ and the
family swore she really did have nine lives. As she aged
the accidents and illnesses got more serious, but she
always fought her way back from the brink of death until
the morning of May 13, 2014. On that day she was
ready for the home God had for her in Heaven and she
decided to go home to him.
Brenda Kay is survived by son, Matt Lewis and Shelly
Martin, daughter Wendy Ragan, grandkids, Meghan Knott
and Stefani Knott, Paige Ragan, and Tristan Lewis. She
is also survived by sister and brother-in-law, Vicky and
Harold Prater, brother and sister-in-law Mike and Stacy
Rogers, nephews Trey Hedrick and Justin Rogers, plus
stepmother Barbara Rogers Eisenman. She also left behind
many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who also loved
her greatly.
Brenda Kay was preceded in death by Jody and Joyce
Rogers, sister Linda Gail, and nephew Shea Rogers; plus
a host of other beloved family members waiting for her
arrival to the gates of Heaven.
�Though she did pass through the valley of death, she
feared no evil because her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
had her by the hand.�
Visitation will be 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, May 15, 2014 at
