Chamber members,

Some of you may or may not have known Betty Ann Rogers, an individual chamber member.

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Betty Ann passed away unexpectedly early this morning. Services will be in Harrison, Arkansas where she was from. I will pass on the details of services when they become available via the chamber website.

Betty Ann became deeply involved in the Nixa community as soon as she and Mitch arrived several years ago. She had a passion for community Service and involvement here in Nixa and in Harrison when she lived there. She was a respected community leader that will be greatly missed.

Again, I will pass on the details of services when they become available via the chamber website news page and the chamber FaceBook page.
