Paula Ann Rodriquez

On December 15, 1967 in the city of Orange of Orange County, California, a baby girl named Paula Ann Rodriquez was born to Paul and Linda Rodriquez. She was a bundle of joy and the apple of their eye, being the oldest of four children.

Paula later grew up in the city of Riverside, California in a town called Rubidoux. It was there that she attended Mission Middle School and where she met the first love of her life named Ignacio Villanueva Jr. They fell in love with each other and continued their relationship through high school where they attended Rubidoux High School together.

At the age of 17, Paula and Junior welcomed their first baby girl, Yvette Villanueva; shortly followed by two other baby girls named Stephanie and Sonia Villanueva. Although they loved each other very much they faced some tough challenges throughout their relationship and decided it was best to go their separate ways. Paula continued to raise her three girls in Rubidoux on her own she took pride in them and loved them very much.

Paula had many friends and was very well known and loved by all who were blessed to meet her along the way. She loved calling up her friends and family on the phone and just talking to them for hours because that's how she felt connected and close to them. Paula was always the life of the party wherever she went she would light up the room. Her laughter and smile was contagious. She loved her oldies and old school music. You could always catch her singing and dancing to her music.

Paula loved to get dressed up and go out and have a few drinks with her friends and family. She loved having a good time and loved to go out dancing when she had the chance to. She always took pride in how she looked and she really was a beautiful woman. She never went anywhere without receiving a compliment on her looks because she was that beautiful and that likeable. She had a heart of gold and she loved hard. Paula was always willing to lend out a helping hand to whoever needed the help. She was always there for her family and friends with no questions asked because that was just the kind of person that she was.

Paula was a very outgoing and outspoken woman. She was stubborn in her own ways but you couldn't help but love that about her. She always spoke her mind and was never afraid to stand up for what she believed in no matter the cost. Paula was a hard working woman she worked her whole life many different jobs to take care of her kids. She eventually went on to have 12 grandkids who she loved dearly. There wasn't anything that she wouldn't do for them. She loved to spoil them with not only gifts but with her love and affection.

As many of her family and friends already know, Paula struggled with her Diabetes for quite some time. She had her ups and downs with her illness and was in and out of the hospital quite a few times. But Paula being the strong woman that she was always seemed to fight and prevail and come out stronger on the other side. Even with all the struggles she faced she still remained positive and full of love because at the end of the day that's all she wanted from her friends and family, nothing materialistic just love. It wasn't until recently when her health really started to take a turn for the worst that she relocated from her home state of California to Henderson, Nevada to be with her kids and grandkids. That's all she wanted to do in the end is be with her kids and grandkids. In the end, her diabetes ultimately ran it's course and sadly her life was cut short at the tender age of 53. Paula passed away on January 22, 2021 in a hospital in Henderson, Nevada.

Paula is survived by her parents Paul and Linda Rodriquez; siblings: Paul Rodriquez Jr., Monica Rodriquez, and Vincent Rodriquez; children: Yvette Fajardo, Stephanie Arce, and Sonia Duran; and 12 grandchildren.

Paula was an amazingly beautiful woman and she will always be loved and missed dearly. From her kids and grandkids "you fought a long and hard fight and now it's time for you to finally rest. No more worries no more stress no more illness no more pain. We love you our beautiful angel. Spread your wings and fly high. Until we meet again."

God's Garden Poem

God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew you were suffering; He knew you were in pain. He knew you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So, he closed your eyelids, and whispered, "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you Home.
