Margaret Elizabeth Windsor was born on February 18, 1928 in Prescott, AZ to Merrill C. and Martha (Bockoven) Windsor.
Margaret passed away on Thursday, June 18, 2009 in Medford, OR.

She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Gardner S. Rogers; two daughters, Ann Wilbanks of Winterport, ME and Barbara Coombs of Tucson, AZ; two grandchildren, Matthew and Katie Wilbanks; her brother, David Windsor and many loved friends and relatives.
Margaret graduated from Prescott High School in 1946 and from the University of Arizona in 1950. She pledged Gamma Phi Beta and remained actively involved with her sorority throughout her life.
