Mrs. Barbara Cheezum Rogers

July 22, 1940 - July 15, 2020

Barbara was the first-born child to Anne and Raymond Cheezum of New Rochelle, NY. As an US Army family, Barbara spent her youth living in the Philippines and Germany before settling in Springfield, VA as a teenager. Barbara graduated from Annandale High School with the class of 1958 where she also met her future husband. They married in 1960 and became the proud parents of two children, Brian and Lisa. As a young wife and mother Barbara was active in several social clubs in their Ravensworth Farms neighborhood where she was known for her baking and cake decorating skills. For many years Barbara worked as a bookkeeper for Mobil Oil before being forced into retirement by the physical complications Multiple Sclerosis. Barbara was preceded in passing by her husband of 55 years Clifton (Boyce) Rogers Jr. and is survived by their children Brian Rogers (Cindy) and Lisa St. Peter (Kenny); grandchildren Timothy St. Peter (Maggie) and Ashley Perez (Charles) and great grandson Brantley St. Peter. The family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the care providers and staff of Poet’s Walk in Fredericksburg, VA for their devotion and attention to her care over the last several years. In lieu of flowers the family requests that gifts of remembrance be made as a donation to the Capital Area Food Bank. https://www.capitalareafoodbank.org/donate/
