Margie Mae Boyce Rogers, 97, died Monday, September 6, 2021 at her home in Joanna, SC, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on August 20, 1924 in Sumter, SC, she was a daughter of the late Porter and Alma Baker Boyce.
Devoted to her faith, she was a member of First Pentecostal Holiness Church in Clinton, SC and loved her church family. She was active in her senior Sunday school class and participated in the Joy Club. Margie worked as a weaver at Joanna Mills and eventually retired from Whitten Center, where she was a supervisor for almost 20 years.
Margie enjoyed canning vegetables, gardening with her late husband, snapping green beans with her grandchildren and visiting the farmer’s market in Asheville, NC. She had a “green thumb” and took pleasure in keeping her yard immaculate. She enjoyed puzzles and Friday night game time with her family and had a talent for embroidering.
Margie had a good sense of humor and “loved to cut up.” She was a strong woman who truly enjoyed life and adored her family. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her.
