The Lasting Impact of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans: A Look at the Cowboy Icon’s Nine Children

Roy Rogers, the “King of the Cowboys,” and his wife, Dale Evans, the “Queen of the West,” were Hollywood legends, starring in over 100 films and “The Roy Rogers Show.” They raised a family of nine children, blending joy with tragedy.

Their children’s stories reflect the couple’s resilience. Cheryl Rogers, adopted in 1941, appeared in some of Roy’s films. Linda Lou, Roy’s biological daughter, now lives in California, surrounded by family. Roy Rogers Jr., known as “Dusty,” became his father’s manager and a musician.

Dale Evans and Roy had a daughter, Robin, who was born with Down syndrome and passed away before age two. Dale honored her in the book *Angel Unaware*. Dodie, adopted at seven months, married and became a grandmother. Sadly, Deborah, adopted during the Korean War, died in a bus accident at age 12, and Sandy Rogers, adopted after Robin’s death, choked to death at 18 in a military hospital.

Tom Fox, Dale’s son from her first marriage, became a school teacher and passed away in 2012.

Their story is one of “joy, tragedy, and enduring love,” a legacy that continues to inspire.
