The wife of Fred Rogers has died.
His production company confirmed the news last night that Joanne Rogers passed away. No cause of death was revealed.
Joanne and Fred Rogers were married over 50 years before his death. She then served as chair of the Fred Rogers Production Company.
Bishop David Zubik released a statement about Rogers’ passing.
With our whole community, I join in mourning the death of Joanne Rogers, a woman whose warmth and love
was shared with her family and the entire Pittsburgh region. Mrs. Rogers was a wonderful servant of the Lord,
committed to helping people realize God’s love through consistent good works in our communities. She had a
beautiful ability to make everyone in her presence feel valued. I was blessed to be in her company on a
number of occasions. I pray that we all can find ways to honor the legacy of Joanne and her beloved “Mr.
Rogers” through showing kindness and compassion in our own neighborhoods and beyond.
Joanne Rogers was 92.
