Roger Gale Christofferson

Roger G. Christofferson, 79, passed away Tuesday, February 14, 2012, at the VA Hospital in Des Moines. He was born June 11, 1932, to Otis and Violet (Harvey) Christofferson. He entered the United States Army where he was an MP in the Korean War.

He was an avid fan of Prairie Meadows and horse handicapping – some thought it was his “office.” He had season tickets for the Iowa Cubs and loved going to games with his best friend, Lee Freel.

Roger was preceded in death by his parents, and three brothers, Duane, Don and Jerry Christofferson. He is survived by his four children, Shirley, Sheri, Rod, and Linda; nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; as well as his sisters, Colleen Sprouse, Wanda Whisler, Kay McElderry, and Donna Christofferson.

Funeral services will be 2 p.m., Friday, February 17, 2012, at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue, in Des Moines. The family will greet friends from 12 to 2 p.m. Friday, at the funeral home. Committal services will be held at 11 a.m., on Saturday, February 18, at Drakesville Cemetery in Drakesville, Iowa.
