Esther J Rodriguez

She was born in Moore, Texas, to Prudencio and Santos Juarez on January 7, 1935, and was raised as the third oldest daughter of farmers. From a young age, Esther was instrumental in helping care for her younger siblings, taking on responsibilities such as keeping a home, cooking meals, doing laundry, and tending to the household while her parents worked the fields.

Esther’s life was marked by faith and devotion. She gave her heart to Jesus Christ, becoming a born-again Christian after attending a church revival. It was there she met the love of her life, Jimmy Rodriguez, whom she later married. Together, they built a beautiful family. Esther was blessed with four children: three sons, James David, Richard, and Moses and an only daughter, Debra Marie.

Esther was known for her unwavering love for her family and her nurturing spirit. Her faith, work ethic, and dedication to her loved ones were evident throughout her life. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.

She is survived by her children, David, Moses, and Debbie; 11 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; 4 great-great-grandchildren; as well as siblings, nieces, and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jimmy Rodriguez; her parents, Prudencio and Santos Juarez; and her son, Richard Rodriguez.
