ORONO – Marcia H. Rogerson, 69, died Sept. 23, 2006, at her home. She was born March 31, 1937, in Bangor, the daughter of Everett H. and Alice (Thomson) Hodgins. I have entered onto a complete and unconditional freedom, and I find it easy to breathe, though I may be suffocating. Will anyone understand what happiness it is to breathe, even once, before dying. Marcia attended Bangor and Brewer schools and was a member of the Brewer Eagles Auxiliary No. 3177. Surviving is her husband, Richard A. Rogerson Sr. of Orono; one daughter, Bethany L. Trojano of North Carolina; a stepson, Richard A. Rogerson Jr. and his wife, Brenda, of Brewer; grandchildren, Joseph Baker of Orrington, Marisia A. Baker of North Carolina and Daniel Rogerson of Colorado; great-grandchildren, Austin Baker and Elijah Marquis of North Carolina; a brother, Ned Hodgins Sr. and his wife, Bonnie, of Bangor; a sister, Dorothy Ellen Albert of Brewer; sisters-in-law, Shirley Atherton, Margaret Hanscom, Alice Reed, Nancy Reed and her husband, Richard; a special niece, Debbie Dall and her husband, Harold; and other nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her parents; a sister, Sarah Lambert; and a brother, James T. Hodgins. A special thank you to New Hope Hospice for their special care of Marcia and concerns for the family. A graveside service will be held 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 29, at North Brewer Cemetery, Day Road, Brewer, with the Rev.
