Mary Cardona Rodriguez, age 89, of Houston, Texas passed away on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. She was born in Houston, Texas on February 4, 1935, where she lived all her life. To parents Vincent Cardona and Maria Del Refugio Martinez.
Mary was married to Bob Renteria with whom she had her first born daughter, Rosemary Valdez. She later married Henry Rodriguez, the father of her two sons Glenn and Ralph Rodriguez. She had a career in Retail Sales in Downtown Houston for many years and Seller Bros for over 20 years. She spent the rest of many years doing what she enjoyed, always living her life to the fullest. Mary loved traveling to Vegas and New Orleans as often as she could. She loved the Slots and was lucky at it. For almost 90 years, Mary was always the highlight of the night. Her will to live would set your heart ablaze, and she never took no for an answer. She defied all odds and faced her giants persistently. Her ambitious heart did not only keep us on our toes and the edge of our seats, but always had her testing her luck as well. Especially in front of a slot machine. Her passion for traveling radiated and her cooking warmed our souls, considering she followed her heart rather than a map or recipe. Most importantly, she loved talking about what was to come and whom she would bring along with her. Family was one thing she never let go of. With open arms, as we all know everyone called her, Momo. Even if she was not their Momo. Though she may no longer be with us in body, may she be revitalized and restored to vibrancy, in the name of Jesus.
Mary was preceded in death by her daughter, Rosemary Valdez, and son, Ralph R. Rodriguez.
