Andrea Elaine (Fox) Rogers

Andrea Elaine Rogers, 48, of Decatur, TX, passed away at her home early Thursday morning, March 18, 2021.

Andrea was born on June 18, 1972, at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Amarillo, TX, to Andrew C. Fox and then Lillian Bailey Fox.  Her mother, Lillian Forrester, preceded her in death in May, 2020.

Andrea attended Amarillo Public Schools, including Amarillo High School, but graduated from La Cueva High School,  Albuquerque, NM, in 1990.  While working for BSA Hospital, Andrea continued her education through Amarillo College and in May 1998 graduated with a degree in Applied Science, NMTTA.  Following her graduation that year, on September 28, she married Kenneth Rogers at First Baptist Church, Amarillo, TX.
For over 20 years, Andrea worked as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist in both Amarillo and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.  From 2002 - 2016, Andrea was the manager of Nuclear Medicine for Texas Health, HEB.  She was a relentless advocate for her patients and their care, as well as a wonderful leader to her team.

Andrea was a free-spirited woman who always lived her life to the fullest. She loved traveling with her husband and daughter, spending time at the beach, and she was always looking for the next roller coaster.  Andrea truly never let a moment pass her by and was a light to everyone she met.

Andrea made her profession of faith at a young age and grew up in the Baptist church.  Her faith was strong, sustaining her through her many illnesses and the losses of loved ones.  She loved the music of the church and she especially loved coming home to worship at FBC-Amarillo.

She is survived by her husband of 22 years, Kenneth Rogers, and their only daughter, Naomi Grace Rogers, both of Decatur, Tx.  She is also survived by her father, Andrew C. Fox and stepmother Francis; three siblings; Carrie Kirchner-Fox and step-brother, Barry Forrester of Amarillo, TX, and step-sister, Andrea (Sissy) Shields of New River, AZ; four aunts; Vicki Bailey, Vanessa SoRelle and husband Tom, Teresa Gates and husband John, all of Amarillo, and Georgia Anita Fox Carlson of Texarkana, TX; three uncles; George (Buddy) Fox, David Fox of Canyon, TX, and William Fox of Amarillo, TX.  Andrea is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, great-nieces and nephews, friends, and a large step-family, the Forresters, all of who loved her and her passion for life very much.

Memorial services will be held at First Baptist Church, Amarillo, TX, in the Chapel, at 11:00 on Saturday, April 10, 2021, with Dr. Howard Batson of First Baptist Church-Amarillo officiating
