Margaret G. Rogers

2020 at home in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI. Margaret was born in London, England

on July 30, 1932 to Charles and Ellen Key. She arrived in Canada after WW2,

working for the Canadian government at the United Nations and later landed in

NYC where she met Wilson Rogers. They married in 1959 in NYC and enjoyed 61

years of marriage. In 1971, they moved from NJ to Michigan. Margaret then

worked for the G.P. School System for 25 years, lastly as the administrative

secretary at G.P. North high school. Margaret’s British accent helped her make

friends wherever she went, especially when traveling around the world. Her

devotion to her church included volunteering at the Thrift Shop, Altar Guild,

Sweet Noelle cookie exchange and Episcopal Church Women. She especially

enjoyed cooking/baking, reading a good book and cheering for Michigan State

Spartans and Detroit Tigers. She never missed a birthday and was the first to

reach out to anyone in need. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother,

Margaret is survived by her husband Wilson Rogers; her daughters Kim Rogers

Powell (Robb) of Belmont, NC and Hilary Marie-Rogers Atabak (Jack)of Lake

Orion, MI; grandchildren, Kelley & Allison Powell, Brian & David Atabak (fiancée

Sarah Hayward). She also leaves behind numerous nephews, nieces, family,

friends and neighbors, especially from her St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, and

her G.P. school communities. A memorial service will be held at a later date at

the church when the COVID pandemic subsides, hopefully in the spring/summer

2021. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Michael’s Episcopal Church,
