Noelia Natividad Lopez Rodriguez

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Noelia Natividad Lopez Rodriguez, age 75, who entered Heaven’s Gates on Monday, February 17, 2025. Born to Filberto B. and Maria Lopez on December 21, 1949, Noelia was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

As a mother, she was the embodiment of strength, love, and dedication. She worked tirelessly, often juggling multiple jobs, to ensure her children never went without. Her hard work, determination, and ability to overcome any obstacle served as a shining example to her family.

Known for her fiery spirit and unwavering resolve, Noelia was a woman who never backed down from a challenge. When she set her mind to something, it was as good as done. She instilled in her children the values of hard work, strength, and resilience, always teaching them to stand firm and hold their heads high. Despite her tough exterior, she had a heart of gold and was generous to those in need.

Her passions were many, but she particularly enjoyed gardening, scrolling through Facebook, and cooking delicious meals for her loved ones. She was known particularly for her mouthwatering carrot cake, potato salad, candied yams and savory turkey dressing, both of which became family favorites and were always eagerly anticipated at gatherings. Most of all, she cherished her time with her adored grandson, Seth, and took great pride in being a part of his life.

A firecracker with a loving heart, Noelia will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of love, strength, and dedication will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

In heaven she joins, her parents, Filberto B. and Maria Lopez; grandchildren, Gabriel Noel James and Delilah Rayne; brother, Ricardo Lopez; sister-in-law, Guadalupe Lopez, her niece, Allison Solie Lopez and nephew, Daniel Lopez Jr.
