Alice Marie was born December 10, 1928, at Ord, Nebraska to Frank and Martha (Karty) Beran. She was raised in Ord and graduated from Ord High School in 1946. Alice taught in a one room schoolhouse in the Sandhills for a short time prior to her marriage.
Alice was united in marriage to Carson H. Rogers on December 30, 1950 at Ord, Nebraska. The couple farmed and raised livestock and were active members of the community in Valley County for more than 60 years.
Alice enjoyed people and socializing and was a dedicated volunteer as a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church; Saint Anne’s Study Group, Ord Does; Suburbanites Extension Club; Valley County Health System Hospital Auxiliary; and the Library Board. Alice served as a Brownie and 4-H Leader and was active in the Relay for Life and National Pork Producers Organization. For many years, Alice visited the nursing home as part of a weekly Rosary group. She and Carson were also part of a long time Neighborhood Card Club.
Alice enjoyed baking, sewing, (cleaning not so much), travel, and writing. She liked to keep up with current events and was not happy when the Omaha world Herald was no longer delivered to Ord. She took great joy in attending many of her grandchildren and great grandchildren’s events, not wanting to miss the chance to cheer on the Ord Chants! With her son Roger Jay, she was an avid Nebraska Football Fan. Her family will miss her homemade chocolate sauce, her unwavering support (and occasional scolding), and her sincere interest in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s lives. Alice will be looking down from Heaven upon three new great-grandchildren who are joining the family very soon!
Alice would want us to remember that she considered herself very blessed to have so many friends and she is grateful for your love.
