Patricia Kay Rogers, age 87, of West Mifflin, known lovingly to most as “Mimi,” “Mum,” “Pat,” or “Tish,” passed away peacefully, on May 31, 2023. She was the daughter of the late Sylvester “Bus” Forsyth and Susan (Kerston) Forsyth.
Mimi was the glue to her family and a devoted friend and companion to all who knew her. She loved gambling, sweets, tulips, and her little, white dog, Sparky. In a room full of people, you could easily find her by listening for her laugh.

She was the most loving, welcoming person you would ever meet and we are all blessed to have known her. We find comfort in knowing she is now reunited with her husband, Bernie and her son Jamie, in heaven.
She is the loving mother of Cathy (Bruce) Schrieb, Jeff (Karen) Rogers, the late Jamie Rogers, and Michelle (Mark) Studnicki; cherished sister of Shirley Ann Kohl, John Forsyth, and Karen Yunn; devoted grandmother to Jessica, Jamie, Darren, Gabrielle, Maci, Olivia, Claudia and Zoee; and proud great-grandmother to Jordan, Dylan and Westen.
