(Allen) Pierce in Aberdeen, Hettie was raised in Hoodsport and attended Irene S. Reed High School in Shelton. She married her high school sweetheart, Darrel Rodgers, on July 23, 1949. In 1960, Hettie and Darrel moved to their family to Sitka. Hettie worked and played side-by-side with her husband fishing their troller, the F/V Cheri-D, living for a few years in Clear Creek Logging Camp at Rodman Bay, hunting and enjoying the outdoors, and later traveling in the winter months in their RV. She was a volunteer at White Elephant for the past 20 years and also was a member of the Sitka Emblem Club No. 142. Writing was her passion, her family said. Her stories were published in 1962, 1964 and 1968 in the Alaska Sportsman Magazine. One story recounted the ill-fated Yakatat moose hunting trip by husband, Darrel, Barton Sollars, Marvin Kinberg, Jr., Lauren Loucks, Odie Hethcock and Larry Marler on Sollars' boat, F/V Bertha R. At the end of hunt, the Bertha R was crossing the Ahrnklin River bar, heavily loaded with meat in the hold, when a rogue wave swept over and swamped the 40-foot fishing boat. Her story describes not only the hunt, but the ordeal the men experienced in their survival and the salvaging of the Bertha R. After the death of her husband in 1990, Hettie met William "Bill" Konoske. They were companions until his death in 2005. Hettie is survived by her son and daughter; 11 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; twin great-great-granddaughters; and brother. She was preceded in death by her husband Darrel and daughter Cheryl Lee Rodgers. A memorial will be in spring 2013 in Shelton, where she will be buried beside her husband.
