Obituary:

George B. Rogers, 86, of Orlando, departed this life on Monday, October 4, 2021. George, affectionately known as GB, was born March 9, 1935 in Orlando, Florida to the Late Ella Mae and Willie Rogers. He was a graduate of Colorado State University. He later decided to join the US Air Force where he served proudly for several years. He worked his way through the ranks of the service and became a Medical Technician for the Federal Government. After his time in the service, he returned to Orlando and was employed with both the City of Orlando in Waste Management and as an educator at Valencia Community College.

He was a faithful member of Mt. Olive AME Church, serving on the culinary committee and a Men’s choir member. In his spare time, he enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and reading the newspaper. He was a devoted husband, brother and friend who will be greatly missed by his family, church, and community.

He leaves to cherish his memory: his loving wife Adreianell Wright-Rogers; brother, Elijah Rogers; and host of other relatives and sorrowing friends.
