Dana Charlene Rogers (Robertson)

It is with great sadness that the family of Dana Charlene Rogers (Robertson) announce her passing on Saturday, February 1st, 2025, at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Dana, 63, was a long time resident of the Spallumcheen area. She passed away suddenly after a brief medical condition. 

Dana was born on July 31st, 1961, in New Westminster, BC. She was the daughter of Donald Kingsley Robertson and Justena Robertson (Serhan) who predeceased her, and the younger sister of Dan Robertson, Shelly Mills and Darlene Kopfensteiner. 

Dana leaves behind her son, Jesse and her daughter, Alisha Hansma whom she loved very much along with Jesse’s wife, Valerie, Alisha’s husband, and her three granddaughters, Brooklyn, Madison and Ashtyn. She is also remembered by the father of her children, Ken Rogers, many extended family members and friends.

Dana was known for her entrepreneurship, resilience and care of others. She was a lover of animals, the outdoors and music. Dana took joy in puttering around in her garden along side her parrot Meaka, and her dogs, Kayley and Zack. A favourite past time was venturing down the Enderby river in the summer on inner tubes. She also enjoyed travelling and shared many happy memories with her family on vacations to Mexico, Savary Island, Hawaii and Palm Springs when they were younger. 

Dana fostered many children throughout the course of her lifetime and cared for seniors in her home. She also devoted her life to ensuring that her mother’s last days were comfortable. 

Her infectious laughter and ability to overcome hardships, as well as encourage others, were the cornerstone of who Dana was. She appreciated the friendship of others and the support of the church community. 

It is with a heavy heart that her family bids her goodbye; finding comfort in knowing that she will once again, embrace her mother and niece, Jamie, who predeceased her.  In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there. 

A celebration of life will be held for Dana in the summer.
