It is with great sorrow that Rogers Communications Inc. ("Rogers")
today announces the passing of Loretta Rogers at the age of
eighty-three, peacefully in her home, surrounded by family.
A beloved wife to the late Ted Rogers, mother,
and grandmother, Loretta lived a full and vibrant life who
dedicated herself to family, friendship, community and
business.
Loretta believed passionately in Ted’s vision
for the company, and through 45 years of a deeply loving marriage,
Loretta and Ted supported each other to grow Rogers into the
company that it is today. Following Ted’s death, Loretta devoted
herself to keeping his vision alive and making Rogers the absolute
best it could be.
Mrs. Rogers served as a corporate director
of Rogers Communications since 1964 and was a member of the
Advisory Committee of the Rogers Control Trust.
She deeply believed in building a better future
for all Canadians, investing financial support and her time. In
2014, Loretta led an unprecedented donation to establish the Ted
Rogers Centre for Heart Research aimed at improving the future of
heart health, in addition to founding the Loretta A. Rogers Chair
in Eating Disorders at Toronto General & Western Hospital and
the Ted Rogers Family Chair in Heart Function at the Peter Munk
Cardiac Centre.
Mrs. Rogers served on the board of directors of the University
Health Network Foundation since 2004, was on the Bishop Strachan
School Foundation from 1980 to 2009, was President & Director
of the Canadian Lyford Cay Foundation since 1980, was on the board
of directors of the Robert Bateman Foundation since 2012 and was
the founding Director of Sheena’s Place.
Edward Rogers, Chairman of Rogers
Communications, said, “Lisa, Melinda, Martha, and I are
profoundly saddened by our mother’s passing. We are grieving for an
amazing woman who had love and compassion in her heart, kindness in
her soul, and who possessed an incredible strength of character.
She lived a full and vibrant life and we, like all those who knew
her, will deeply miss her leadership and guidance.”
The Board of Directors and all employees of
Rogers Communications express their deepest condolences and
sympathy to the Rogers family for their loss.
