Deborah Unruh Rogers

Deborah “Debbie” Unruh Rogers, 61, of Sellersville, passed away on November 2nd, in her home. She was born in Sellersville and has now joined her parents, Walter Johnson and Carolyn Bauer Unruh in heaven.

Debbie attended Pennridge High School and graduated in 1981. Debbie worked for many years at GrandView Hospital as night-shift administrative assistant. She made many special friends there. She then began her own business, Bear Den Kitchen, as a chocolatier and baker. She enjoyed gardening and used the fruits of the garden to make delicious spreads and preserved foods. She sold her chocolate, spreads, and other baked items at craft shows and bazaars for many years. In addition, she enjoyed homecare, loving and meeting the needs of her clients.

Her passion for life extended well beyond her professional endeavors. In her free time, Debbie enjoyed her chickens and gardening, continuing the work that she learned and loved doing with her father. She was often seen on her tractor. She was talented in crafting and most of all helping others. She treasured spending time with her huge circle of friends and family. 

She was an active member at the Moose Lodge, Sellersville, PA where she used her cooking skills to help prepare fundraising meals. She was the “Strawberry Pie Lady” at Quakertown Christian School annual country auction & fair and would beautifully decorate the “last pie” for huge bidding. She was also active in the Upper Bucks and Indian Valley Chamber of Commerces which broadened her wide circle of friends.

Debbie will be dearly missed by her siblings, Barbara Rice (Jacob), Susan Unruh, Linda McKellar (Stephen), James Unruh (Beverly), MaryEllen Knudson (Richard) and “adopted” sister Henriette Lukens; her five nephews, Eric, Aaron, Brian, Will (Alyssa), and Jonathan (Kaitlin); and one great niece, Alayna, along with her extended family members and friends.
