It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Eulalia Sanchez Rodriguez, a beloved mother, sister, cousin, and friend, who left this world on February 2, 2025.

Born into a close-knit family, Eulalia cherished her relationships with her brothers, sisters, and cousins, always making time for family gatherings filled with joy, music, and dancing. Her love for dance was unmatched, and she could light up any room with her vibrant spirit.
