It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Roger Lee Grove, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and half-brother, who left us peacefully on December 19, 2024, at the age of 92 years.
Roger was born on February 18, 1932, in Lansing, Michigan, to Naretta VonRichter. He lived a full and meaningful life, characterized by love, dedication, and strength. He was a devoted husband to Marilyn Mae Grove, with whom he shared 71 years of marriage. Together, they built a life full of wonderful memories, and his love and commitment were consistent and unwavering.
As a father, Roger was a constant source of guidance, encouragement, and unconditional love. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn Grove; children: Michael & wife Quentin Andrea Grove, and David Grove; grandchildren: Jennifer George, Magen Dallenbach and their respective families. His legacy will live on in their hearts, and they will cherish the lessons he imparted throughout his life.
Roger also leaves behind a family of half-brothers and half-sisters.
In addition to his family, Roger was known for his financial planning business, membership/leadership with The Peoples Church, Kiwanis Club, and various MSU boards of directors. Roger lived a full life filled with his love of music, skiing (National Ski Patrol), golf, tennis, horticulture to list just a few. A life well lived. His impact was felt by all who knew him, and he will be greatly missed by friends and family alike.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, January 16, 2025, 1pm at The Peoples Church, 200 W. Grand River Ave. East Lansing, MI 48823. Visitation will be held on Thursday from 12pm to 1pm at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Peoples Church in memory of Roger Lee Grove. Arrangements are by the Estes-Leadley Greater Lansing Chapel.
Roger will be forever in our hearts, and his memory will live on through the love and kindness he shared with everyone he met, RIP.

December 30, 2024 at 9:09 amRoger was a wonderful part of our family life for many years. He and Marilyn were dear friends of my Dad and Mom, Bob and Gloria Wirt for as long as I can remember. His infectious laugh and bright smile were always present. The many outings and fabulous conversations between them all are fondly recalled as I look back on their lives. What a wonderful friendship they shared. May he meet up with my Dad and Mom as they are probably waiting with open arms. Rest in Peace Roger. With great sorrow and love,
Shannon Wirt Sitek.
