Lindsay May Rodriguez

We come together to celebrate the remarkable life of Lindsay May Rodriguez, affectionately known as Lins, who passed away at the age of 69 on December 27, 2024, in San Antonio, TX following cardiac issues. Born on October 25, 1955, in Bolton, England, Lins was a beacon of knowledge and a pillar of strength to all who knew her. Lindsay's journey began across the Atlantic, where she cultivated a love for history, classics, and English literature at Southampton University. After galivanting around the world traveling in her twenties, she settled down in Mexico City as a high school teacher. Her fervent passion for education eventually led her to earn a master’s in education from the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, where she would lay her roots. Lins dedicated herself to the advancement of deaf education through her work at the University Health System of San Antonio, TX, where she not only launched pivotal studies for teaching speech and language to bilingual children but also trained countless teachers and family members to support the deaf community. For the last 24 years Lindsay worked at Sunshine Cottage School for Deaf Children Parent Infant Program as a Parent Infant Advisor and eventually the Director of the Parent Infant Program. Her husband of 43.5 years, Francisco Rodriguez, stood by her side as a testament to enduring love and partnership. Together, they raised a family that includes their daughter, Jennifer Judith Wexler, son-in-law Logan Wexler, and grandson Lyle Rodrigo Wexler, as well as their son Francisco "Paco" Rodriguez. Each family member reflects a facet of Lindsay's indomitable spirit and generosity. Lins was a woman of many interests, from immersing herself in the world of books to nurturing her garden of flowers and plants. She adored her cats, relished the opportunity to travel, and had an appreciation for fine dining. These simple pleasures were the backdrop to a life lived fully and with gusto. Colleagues and friends knew Lins as a towering intellect, with an analytical mind that could dissect complex problems and yield solutions that seemed to elude others. Her courage was not the loud and boisterous kind but a quiet, steadfast resolve that allowed her to face challenges head-on. These attributes made her an invaluable asset in her professional field and an unforgettable presence in her personal life. In the words of Helen Keller, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched—they must be felt with the heart." Lins embodied this sentiment, touching the hearts of many through her work, her nurturing presence, and her boundless curiosity about the world. Lindsay May Rodriguez leaves behind a legacy of knowledge, love, and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others. Her story is not one of an end but a continuing narrative of inspiration that will be carried on through the lives of those she touched. She will be deeply missed, but her light will continue to shine brightly in the memories of her loved ones and the many lives she enriched.
