Olga Ann Rogers, a truly gentle, kind, and quiet soul who grew up in Brooklyn, New York, passed away suddenly on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at the age of 50. Her unexpected passing has left her devoted family and friends heartbroken, and all who knew her in deep mourning.
Olga was born on July 1, 1975, in Brooklyn, New York, to the late Lillie Ann Reid-Rogers and Louis Rogers. She will be remembered for the quiet strength and kindness she extended to everyone in her life.
Olga was outgoing and a dedicated, hardworking individual up until her health challenges.
Olga moved through life with gentle grace. She wasn’t a big talker, yet her quiet presence carried warmth that touched everyone around her. She could be a little stubborn at times, but that was part of her character and the quiet strength that made her who she was. She was kind, sweet, and deeply compassionate, touching the lives of everyone she met.
Olga Rogers received her high school diploma in Brooklyn, New York, and later moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where she furthered her education at Horry Georgetown Technical College.
Olga lived a simple life, yet she had a beautiful flair for fashion and loved expressing herself by dressing in the latest trends. She was naturally outgoing, brightening every room she entered. She also found joy in reading, taking peaceful walks in the park, and losing herself in the beauty of music. She found her greatest joy in the company of family and friends cherishing every moment spent surrounded by love and laughter.
Olga was a devoted lifelong member of West Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York, where she worshiped from childhood through adulthood. During her years there, she faithfully served and shared her gift of song as a member of the church choir.
She cherished her children, Karon and Lyric, with all her heart, and her happiness grew even brighter with the love of her only grandchild, Ray Jr. A devoted mother, she always made sure her children were well cared for, never wanting for anything, and her love and dedication were evident in everything she did. She extended that same care and devotion to her grandson, Ray Jr., ensuring he was always loved, supported, and cherished. She treasured every moment with her children, especially the simple joy of watching movies with Lyric and Karon. Those shared laughs and warm memories remained a comfort to her up until the time of her passing.
She is survived by her beloved father, Louis Rogers; her sisters, Felicia Rogers of Murrells Inlet, SC, Della Rogers of Brooklyn, NY, Maureen Bridges of Jamaica, New York, and Sharon and her husband, Darrly Woody, of San Antonio, TX; her only son, Karon Rogers of Murrells Inlet, SC; her only daughter, Lyric Love-Smith and her husband Raymond Smith of Hepzibah, GA; and her cherished grandson, Ray Smith Jr. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, beloved aunts and one uncle, and a large and loving extended family of cousins.
Olga radiated life and laughter, leaving a lasting light in the hearts of all who knew her.
