Ducky was loved by all, especially her grandbabies. She wore her Maga title proudly, and lived to spend all the time she could in their presence. Her hobbies included buying all of the “special deals” at Goodwill for her precious grandbabies. She is survived by her mother, Agustina Rodriguez of Stanfield; her son, Lee Bates II (Crystal Bates) of Wisconsin; daughter Jill Bates-Cale (Bailey Cale) of Texas; and most importantly, her five beautiful grandbabies: Bentley, Jaxon, Kinsley, Ryatt, and Laynee Mae, along with 3 sister and 2 brothers. She was a strong, independent woman who was a magnificent role model for all!
