Eda Marie Rogina

Grandma Eda M. Rogina, born to Chiaffredo V. and Giovanna M. (Albertelli) Re on August 14, 1923 and passed away peacefully on November 17, 2013 at her home in Salem, Oregon. Originally born in Mendocino County, California, she spent much of her life in Sebastopol, California. She was preceded in death by her husband Frank George Rogina and son Frank Anthony Rogina. Eda will live on through her children, 13 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. She was a blessing who will surely be missed by those fortunate enough to have had her in their lives. She will always be known as the ultimate caretaker. Eda cared for our country's troops as a nurse during WWII and continued nursing for much of her life. Even after her official career was over, she always welcomed the opportunity to care for others. Her welcome embrace, warm smile and compelling strength will be missed. We love you.
