Rogi graduated from Edinboro State University and subsequently taught elementary children with special needs for over 20 years throughout Ohio. Her last assignment was in Lorain City Schools. Rogi loved teaching and was a dedicated and loving teacher who found great joy in planning special classroom activities and treats for her students.
