A graveside service for Edna Marie (McCrummen) Rodgers, age 98 of Oxford, Mississippi, and formerly of Hide-A-Way Lake, Texas, is scheduled for 2:00 PM Monday, February 3, 2020 at the Chapelwood Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Texarkana, Texas. Services are under the direction of Caudle-Rutledge-Daugherty Funeral Home in Lindale.
Marie died peacefully in her sleep early in the morning of January 28, 2020 at her residence in Oxford, Mississippi. She was born in Lubbock, Texas on May 27, 1921, to Luther Foster McCrummen and Martha Creg (Dalby) McCrummen.
Marie attended Texas Tech University pursuing a degree in Chemistry, but WW II intervened and she went to work as a lab technician at Lubbock Army Air Field (now Reese AFB). She returned to Texas Tech after the war, receiving her degree in 1946, and then worked as a medical technologist in the Medical Division of the VA Regional Office in Lubbock. Here she met and married Loyd Rodgers in December 1954. Her career also included work at the Lubbock City-County Health Department, substitute teaching of high school math and science in the Lubbock schools, and finally, 15 years as head of the Mycology Section of the medical laboratory at Wilford Hall USAF Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. She retired from that position in 1981, moving to Hide-A-Way Lake in 1984 with her husband, Loyd, following his retirement from Randolph AFB.
She is survived by her son, Stacy Rodgers and wife, Diane Wang of Oxford, Mississippi; grandchildren, Christopher Rodgers, Heather Rodgers, Robert Menaul, and Nicole Menaul; and one great-grandchild, Nicole’s daughter, Lea.
