Renowned American country singer-songwriter Kenny Rogers tragically passed away in 2020 at 81. It has now been three years since his death, and his beloved widow Wanda Miller, 56, has opened up about the last moments the two shared before he sadly met his demise. She recently gave People magazine an exclusive sit-down interview.
Miller starts by sharing what her family’s Saturdays would look like, which they termed Super Saturdays. Rogers would take his twin sons, Justin and Jordan Rogers, out for a fun-filled day, which would start with a traditional visit to McDonald’s for breakfast and then finish the day by going to Chuck E. Cheese, following a trip to the car wash.
According to the widow, it comes down to the simple things Rogers would do, such as Super Saturdays, that make his family miss him the most. According to Miller, Rogers was extremely down-to-earth:
“You would think Kenny was the most average guy. He was never pretentious, and he sort of taught [the boys] that. He never needed any special attention.”
Away from the glitz and glam and spotlight of the stage, Rogers was simply a loving father and doting husband. When speaking on the memory of her late husband, Miller disclosed:
“I miss his love, his support. I miss his touch, [and] I miss everything about him. I wish we could have that one last conversation just to say, ‘Are you good? Are you OK?’ ”
As the years passed since Rogers’ passing, outside of trying to work through her grief and devastation, Miller has been putting her focus on making sure Rogers’ legacy lives on. One of those ways is her curating an album of songs from her late husband’s unreleased archives through the years 2008 and 2011. The project is called “Life Is Like a Song.”..CONTINUE READING
