Roger L. Rice

Roger L. Rice, 83, of Muscatine, Iowa, passed on Friday, November 6, 2026, at Accura HealthCare of Muscatine.

Cremation will take place at Trimble Crematory, Moline, Illinois, under the direction of Cremation Society of the Quad Cities.

Roger Leroy Rice was born on February 17, 1943, in Centerville, Iowa, the son of Harold and Thelma (Henriksen) Rice. He worked as a produce manager for Nash Finch Company for more than 50 years, a job he truly loved. He married Sharon Timm on May 31, 1972, in Moline, Illinois, and together they shared 54 wonderful years.

He was a member of Adventure Christian Community Church in Muscatine. Above all, he loved his family, whether gathering for a family picnic or spending time fishing together. His heart always belonged at the cabin in Wisconsin, where he looked forward to returning each year with his family.

Roger is survived by his beloved wife, Sharon Rice; children, Tricia Newmyer of Davenport, Iowa, Nicholas Rice of Muscatine, Iowa, and Daniel Rice of Aledo, Illinois; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and sisters, Kay Deahl and Glenda Brown. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Thelma Rice; and a brother, Larry Rice.
