She was born on April 20, 1959, in Altus, Oklahoma, to Charles and Delpha (Bersano) Taloney. Shelley was raised in a military family, which instilled in her the values of dedication, strength, and perseverance that would carry her through life.
Shelley graduated from Richmond High School, where her warm, welcoming spirit began to blossom into the loving person that many came to know and adore. Phillip, her husband, saw that the moment they met on a night out with friends. They married shortly thereafter in Richmond, MO on October 24, 1981. For over twenty years, Shelly devoted her career to Walmart, serving proudly in Human Resources.
Her family held a special place in her heart; being a mother and grandmother were among her proudest accomplishments, and she never missed an opportunity to shower her loved ones with affection. Shelley and her husband, Phillip, shared a deep bond rooted in love and companionship. Together, they created countless memories, especially during their cherished moments spent at Truman Lake.
Shelley is survived by her husband, Phillip Rogers of Higginsville MO; her son, Chad Rogers (Brook) of Richmond, MO; her grandchildren, Avery Rogers, Taylee Rogers, Jace Bertz-Rogers, Cayden Bertz (Kyndal), Kobi Bartley, Taber Bartley and Leann Drake; her great-grandchildren, Mackson Bertz, Collins Bertz, Leah Bertz, Barrett Bertz and Maeve Bartley, whom Shelley was ready and blessed to add to her family this month; her sister, Christy Drake (Tommy) of Lexington, MO; and her brother, Charles Randall Taloney (Dana) of Lexington, MO. Shelley will be fondly remembered by many other cherished family members and loving friends.
Shelley is preceded in death by her children Robert Michael Rogers and Kelli Lee Rogers as well as her loving parents Charles Taloney and Delpha Lee (Bersano) Taloney.
