Constancia entered into eternal rest on March 14th, 2024 at Overlook Hospital in Summit, New Jersey with her family by her side.
Constancia lived in Tortola for many years. As a young girl she worked on the family farm, and later as a young woman, she worked at the Bluebeard & Blackbeard Castle Hotels, in St Thomas,US Virgin Islands. In the late 1940s, she immigrated to the United States and acquired enough money to purchase a home in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Shortly thereafter, she met and married the late John Benjamin Rogers.

Her radiant smile and spirit embraced all who crossed her path, making them feel as though they were returning home. Constancia danced through life with a song in her heart, her passion for melody and movement was a constant companion.
