Obituary
Marian R. (Rogers) Speciale, of
Evansville, formerly of Atlanta, passed away
peacefully on Monday, Sept. 30, 2019, at Evansville
Protestant Home.
She was born at St. Clara's Hospital
in Lincoln, IL, on June 4, 1925, to J. Harold and
Mildred (Stroud) Rogers of rural Atlanta.
Marian graduated from Atlanta High School and Eureka
College. She married Joseph Speciale on Aug. 4,
1957, at the Atlanta Christian Church. Marian taught
second grade at Edwards School in Bloomington for 10
years. In 1973, she helped found the Atlanta
Christian Pre-School, and continued as a teacher
there until she retired in 1993. Marian was an
active lifetime member of the Atlanta Christian
Church. She was a member of the American
Hemerocallis (Daylily) Society and sharing her
plants was a hobby. She genuinely enjoyed
befriending and assisting others. She especially
enjoyed family time and was so interested in the
lives of her grandchildren.
Marian is survived by her three children: Lorna
(David) Holland of Titusville, FL, Paul (Laurie)
Speciale of Evansville, IN, and Lyle (Elizabeth)
Speciale of Chandler, AZ; grandchildren: Kristen
(Michael) Gasparino, April (Matthew) Lipphardt,
Charis Holland, Anna Holland, Brittany (Mason)
Wright, Taylor (Bryan) McDowell, Hailey Speciale,
Harper Speciale, Evan (Kelsey) Speciale, and Emma
Speciale; great-grandchildren: Whitfield and Lincoln
Wright, and Benjamin Lipphardt.
She was preceded in death by her husband in 1993,
her only sibling, Donald Rogers, and an infant
grandson, Matthew Speciale.
At Marian's request there will be no memorial
service. She has been laid to rest beside her
husband in the Atlanta Cemetery. A private family
gathering will be held at a future date.
Remembrances may be made to the Atlanta Christian
Church.
Final arrangements were entrusted with
Quiram-Peasley Funeral Home of Atlanta.
