Marisela Lara Rodriguez

August 24, 1965 – January 8, 2026

Marisela Lara Rodriguez was born on August 24, 1965, in McAllen, Texas, and passed away on January 8, 2026, in Houston, Texas.

Marisela was a woman with an open heart and an open door. She was always helping others and welcoming family members into her home—even when she did not have much herself. Generosity came naturally to her, and she gave freely, without expectation.

She had a gift for connecting with people. Marisela made friends easily, spoke warmly to strangers, and never hesitated to offer a compliment a kind word or help. She loved to dance, sing, and enjoy life through laughter and music.

Above all, Marisela loved her family deeply. She was a devoted mother who always put her children first and set aside everything to care for her own mother with unwavering dedication. Her strength was shown through her actions—through sacrifice, presence, and love.

Marisela is survived by her husband; her children, Francisco, Mireya, Nadia, Jaydee, and Cesar; eight grandchildren; her mother; sisters; and many extended family members and friends whose lives she touched. Her kindness, warmth, and contagious laughter will be dearly missed.

Lord, we thank You for the gift of Marisela’s life. Through our heartbreak and loss, we rejoice in the joy she brought into our lives. She was a selfless woman, always helping those around her. May her kindness inspire our days, and may her laughter echo in our memories. Her spirit, love, and light will always remain with us.

Her home, her heart, and her love were always open—and that is how she will forever be remembered.
