Charles B. Rogers

It is with profound sadness yet a deep sense of celebration for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Charles B. Rogers on August 31, 2026, at the age of 91. Charles departed peacefully at the Concord-Laconia Hospital in Laconia, New Hampshire.

Born on July 2, 1935, Charles was raised in Everett and was the cherished son of the late John W. and Elsie I. (Betts) Rogers. He shared a joyous marriage with Ruth E. (Thomas) Rogers, with whom he built a loving family, welcoming two daughters, Eldora and Lois. After 34 wonderful years together, he was widowed in 2010 but continued to honor their love with the stories and memories they created.

Charles spent the majority of his life in Everett and Chelsea, and for the past two years, he resided with his daughter in Laconia, New Hampshire. His steadfast dedication was evident in his work at the Everett Department of Public Works Cemetery Department, where he served before retiring 15 years ago. Charles found great fulfillment in the simple joys of life, including spending quiet evenings at home engaged in word search puzzles and cheering on the Boston Red Sox.

A celebration of Charles' remarkable life will take place on Friday, September 11, as family and friends are warmly invited to gather for graveside inurnment services at Glenwood Cemetery, located on Washington Ave., Everett. The service will commence at 11:00 A.M., with attendees asked to meet at the cemetery gate by 10:30 A.M.

Charles is lovingly survived by his devoted daughters, Eldora Kitchen of Laconia, NH, and Lois Rogers-Ryan of Everett. He is further survived by 11 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, as well as his beloved sisters, Doris Rogers, Barbara Tierney, Frances Adamo and numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, and extended family members. He also joins the spirits of his sisters, Ellen Bryson, Mildred Griffin-Lyons, and Thomasina Rogers, who predeceased him.

In memory of Charles B. Rogers, we invite you to share in this celebration of his extraordinary life-the laughter, the love, and the countless moments that encompassed his years with us. May his legacy live on through the hearts of those
