Sumter, SC…Deborah Ann Rodgers, age 67, passed away on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at her residence.
Born in Manning, SC, she was the daughter of the late Jim Franklin Rodgers and Doris Coleen Rhodus Rodgers. Deborah spent most of her adult life on the road as an independent truck driver. She owned her own equipment but was especially proud of her long-nose black Peterbilt truck. She loved her career as a truck driver; however, her devotion to family, especially her grandchildren, was her priority. She assisted in caring for both her ailing mother and father before they passed away. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.
Deborah is survived by her daughter, Jessica Barefoot Stanley, and husband, Jimmy; three sisters, Christine Jennings, Darlene Tolson and husband Roy, Bonnie Brown and husband Matt; a brother, Frankie Rodgers, and wife, Cindy; a sister-in-law, Wilma Cooper, and three grandchildren, Brandon Barefoot, Hannah Stanley, and Jesse Stanley.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a beloved grandson, Zachary Geddings, and a brother-in-law, Wayne Jennings.
