Obituary

Constance Mercer Rodgers, 71, passed away recently and went to be home with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Born in Virginia on October 14th, 1951 to Thomas and Dorothy Mercer, Connie, as she was commonly known, grew up in San Antonio and attended MacArthur High School. Upon graduation, she held various jobs such as working for the U.S. Customs, but her longest and most fulfilling role was that of a stay at home mother to her children Michael, Kenny and Julie. After growing up in San Antonio, she spent time raising her family in the greater Houston, Tyler and Dallas areas. She was frequently an active member in church and some of her fondest memories were summer vacations with the family to Pine Cove Christian Camp. She was also very creative, which was evident in her skilled ability to paint and garden, amongst other hobbies and interests.

Survivors include her mother Dorothy Mercer, former husband Roger Rodgers, son Michael Rodgers and wife Lori, son Kenny Rodgers and wife Anne, daughter Julie Rodgers and five grandchildren. Connie was preceded in death by her father Thomas Mercer and brother Tim Mercer.

Services will be held on Monday, February 13th at 1:00pm at Watermark Community Church located at 7540 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy, Dallas, TX 75251. A reception for those that wish to attend will immediately follow the service.

    Praying for your family today. All of you have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard of Connie’s passing. So many sweet memories flooded in. She was a dear friend; I remember her taking Anna and Sarah to Pine Cove one summer when I was in Mexico with Seth. That first Christmas after Seth died, we had gone to our Christmas Eve service and I felt so lost and sad. I didn’t want to go home so we dropped in on y’all! Your family was so welcoming and helped ease the pain of that Christmas with out him. I always likened Connie to Weezer in Steel Magnolias 😊 She had a dry wit but a heart of gold! I know she will be missed by so many. Love to each of you, Jane Bartholomew

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
