QUEENSBURY – Carol J. Rogge, 71, of Carlton Dr., Queensbury, passed away at her home, Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2014, with her daughter by her side after a courageous battle with cancer.
Carol was born Jan. 1, 1943, in Rome, N.Y., the daughter of the late Raymond and Florena (Smithers) Bloomer, and moved to Queensbury in the 1960's. She graduated from Vernon Verona High School and Utica School of Beauty Culture. She was a hairdresser at JCPenney of Queensbury for 26 years.
She was an active member of the Queensbury Senior Citizens. She was a sweet devoted mother and grandmother who had so much love to share. She took pleasure and pride in watching her granddaughters at their sporting events. Her great sense of humor will be missed. She loved the warm weather and good food, but most of all she loved being with her family. Her daughter and her granddaughters were her world.
She was predeceased by her parents and brother, Dean Bloomer.
Survivors include her daughter, Charlene Hewlett and her husband, Greg, of Queensbury; granddaughters, Hannah and Callie; two cousins, Janet and Joyce of Madrid, N.Y.; and one very special dog, "Willow," who came into her life to be by her side as she made this journey.
Her family would like to extend sincere gratitude to her Oncologist Dr. Pillimer and Donna Boss, her nurses at High Peaks Hospice, Meals on Wheels, and the many family, friends and caregivers who offered tremendous support and visited her in the last couple weeks. The family is forever grateful for all of you.
There will be no calling hours.
A funeral service will be held for family and friends on Monday, Feb. 24, at 11 a.m. at Harrisena Community Church, 1616 Ridge Rd., Queensbury with the Rev. Lamont Robinson, pastor, officiating.
A private burial will follow at Pine View Cemetery.
