On March 26, 2019, Rachel Rogers Thompson went Home to be with her Lord and Savior. Her sweet spirit will live on in the lives of the family and many dear friends she leaves behind.
Rachel was born on July 6, 1940, in Mecklenburg County, Virginia—the 9th and last child of Walter Lee Rogers and Jessie Irene (Thompson) Rogers. Rachel was proud to grow up as a farm girl in Boydton, Virginia.
Church and school were a big part of Rachel’s life. Rachel graduated with honors from Bluestone High and was a proud graduate of Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. She made lifelong friendships along the way. At Meredith, the paths of Rachel Rogers and Bill Thompson merged, and life would never be the same. Three years later, on June 1, 1963, Rachel and Bill were united in marriage at Liberty Baptist Church in Skipwith, Virginia, and they began their 55+ years together.
