Brooklyn
Rogers, 17 years old, was a senior at Ripley High School when she passed away
of injuries sustained in a car accident October 19, 2015.
Brooklyn
was the daughter of Crystal Gail Donohew of Sandyville, and Christopher Shawn
Rogers of Evans. She was also a sister to Shawn Rogers of Evans and Robert Zane
Summers of Sandyville. Step-family
members include: Bill Ferrebee, Rose Beegle, Conor Ferrebee, Bryan Hunt,
Savannah Ferrebee, Bre Matheny, and Holli Chase.
Brook
described herself as a tomboy, and often enjoyed being outdoors and riding four
wheelers or going muddin’ with her buddies.
“Anything
a boy would do, she would try to do better,” friend Tayler Radabaugh said. “Since middle school, we’ve always had
classes together…I remember a PowerPoint on somewhere we’d like to go. She did Spain and the running of the
bulls. I wanted to do it with her
because she made it sound really fun,” Radabaugh said.
Throughout
her high school career, Brook actively participated in FFA, including serving
as a middle school officer.
“She was
on a lot of Career Development Event teams.
Last year she competed in the vet science team with me, and we always
joked around that one of our goals was to see how mad we could get Tara (our
coach) on animal IDs. We would tease and
say that a horse was a goat,” friend Annie Garnes said.
Her love
of animals was widely known outside of school as well. She co-oped for the Jackson County Animal
Shelter every morning, and aspired to become a veterinary technician.
“Brook
was sweet and easy to work with. One of
Brook’s biggest interests was cats. She
spent any free time in the cat room. She
had two favorites, which her mother has since adopted,” Sheila Chambers, Humane
Officer, said.
Although
as a co-op student she mostly did cleaning, she was learning shots and had an
introduction to some of the things that would help her future career.
“On
behalf of the Animal Shelter, we are devastated. We are going to miss her tremendously, and we
want to wish her family peace,” Chambers said.
The
school and community mourn the loss with Brook’s family of such a wonderful
person.
“She was
a really gifted artist, and she was just smart and clever and funny. Our class
is not the same because she is not in it anymore,” teacher Carol Greene said.
A prayer
chain was presented to the family with memories from the student body. In addition, the Class of 2016 is purchasing
a brick engraved with her name for the Fallen Vikings Memorial in the school
courtyard. We have appreciated the
condolences of other schools around the state, including St. Joseph’s High
School (Huntington) and George Washington and Riverside High Schools (Kanawha
County).
Visitation at Casto Funeral Home in Evans will be held 3-7 p.m., Sunday
Oct. 25. The funeral service will be
Monday at 1 p.m.
May our heartfelt sympathy be with her family, her friends, classmates & Co workers during this very difficult time! Brooke indeed has left an impact on this small community in which we all call home and I'm sure her smile, her wit & her wonderful personality will live 4ever in the hearts of all those who had the privilege of meeting & knowing her!! RIP Brooke...💙 xo

Anni Putur, Maddi Tassey, Cam Boyce, Gabby Trongone, and Camille Miller were relentless on defense keeping Nauset to one 2nd half goal. Kasey Molito had another brilliant game with 10 saves on 14 shots. Bonavita was absolutely brilliant on offense as she scored 5 goals and kept the ball away from Nauset for most of second half.
