Barbara “Babs” Jean Cook Rodgers, went with her Lord Jesus peacefully at home on June 7, 2020.
Babs was born the only child of her beloved parents, O.T. Cook and Clara Winchester Cook in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on November 2, 1935.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Charlie A. Rodgers, Jr. and son-in-law, Joe Skipworth. Babs leaves behind daughters Robin Skipworth and Lisa Harville (Mark); grandchildren, Gale Skipworth, Shelley Elliott (Cory), Barbara Jane Carter (Alex), Tucker Dunaway (Lucas), Nick Harville (Alyson); seven dear great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.
Babs graduated from A.L. Miller High School in Macon and married the following weekend. She raised her family in Ft. Valley for 14 years working as secretary for Fort Valley Middle School and worshiped at First Baptist Church. Returning to Macon, the family lived in the Rutland Community where she rekindled classmate friendships and enjoyed sweet fellowship with her bridge companions. As “Nana,” she fervently loved and cared for each of her grandchildren. The family has lost a very special part of our lives.
A celebration of her life will be held graveside at Macon Memorial Park, Sunday, June 14, at 2:00 PM.
