Dorothy June (Rogers) Stephenson, 86, of San Antonio, Texas passed away on January 21, 2024 following a long struggle with dementia. She was born November 25, 1937, in the small rural settlement of Hazel Green in Northern Alabama. Her parents were Elmer Lee Rogers and Alice Jane Hoover. She was praised by the superintendent of education in Alabama for not missing a single day during her four years of high school.

Shortly following high school, she married her U.S. Army sweetheart Charles Stephenson, who was stationed at Fort Belvoir near Washington D.C. Two sons developed from the marriage, Michael Ray Stephenson of Stephens City, Virginia, and Kevin Robert Stephenson of San Antonio, Texas.

Following her husband’s completion of military service and extensive civil service, they moved to San Antonio, Texas in 1981. Dorothy became the secretary of the Northern Hills Methodist Church. She remained in this position for more than twenty years, always developing contact with and respect from the church congregation. While in the church position and retirement, she began the hobby of quilt making. She completed more than thirty beautiful quilts, which were given to friends and relatives. She will be greatly missed by her many friends and especially her husband of sixty-seven years.
