Her love for her family was the foundation of her life and she cherished every moment spent with them. A true Texas sports fan at heart, she proudly cheered for the Astros and the Cowboys. She found deep comfort and strength in her relationship with God and was devoted to her church community.
She had a gift for conversation and could spend hours on the phone, catching up, checking in, or just sharing laughter. And when it came to food, she believed that a good meal was one of life's simplest and greatest pleasures.
She is preceded in death by her father Jesus Rodriguez; and her brothers Joe Luis and Raul Rodriguez.
