Hazel Marie Rogers

Hazel Marie Rogers, of Tickfaw, Louisiana, peacefully passed away on Thursday, March 26, 2026, at the age of 75, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on Friday, November 17, 1950, in Independence, Louisiana, the daughter of the late William F. Rogers and the late Elsie Mae Davis Rogers.

Hazel was someone who stood out in her own way. She spoke her mind and told things as they were, always honest and genuine. Hazel was a fighter in all aspects of life; her strength and independence were a force to be reckoned with.

Her faith was a guiding light in her life. Hazel was a devoted churchgoer who held a deep love for God. Her belief gave her comfort, and she carried that faith with her each day. She also found quiet happiness in tending to her plants and spending time gardening.

Above all else, Hazel loved her family deeply. They were the center of her life, and she cherished every moment spent together. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew her.

Hazel is survived by her children, Tommy Whittington, Gary Whittington, and Raye Whittington; grandchildren, Jessica Whittington, Caleb Whittington, Brianna Whittington, Brennen Whittington, Cameron Sance, Justin Sance, Chrystian Smith, Ethyn Wagner, Sheridyn Wagner, Priston Wagner, Shealyn Wagner; great-grandchildren, Tripp, Auriella, Cambreigh, Aceleigh, Tylor, and Chelslynn; sisters, Eva Denham and Joyce Bright; nieces, Robin Meceli and Heather Denham; and nephews, Jimmy Thomas, Johnny Thomas, and Brandon Alton Rogers.

In addition to her parents, Hazel was preceded in death by her brothers, Alton Rogers, Robert Fletcher Rogers, Ray Eugene Rogers; sisters, Barbara Anne Hebert and Bonnie Amerson; and nieces, Dawn Christopher and Rachael Bertilla.

Family and friends will be received at Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home - Hammond, 2000 N. Morrison Blvd, Hammond, Louisiana 70401, on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, from 11:00 am until the funeral service begins at 1:00 pm with Pastor Alan Hopkins officiating.
