They had two daughters, Angela Rodriguez (07/30/1977) and Alisha. She was a devoted daughter to her parents, wife, and mother. Some of her hobbies included arts & crafts and baking, especially decorative cakes and desserts. She loved to travel, including beach trips and camping with friends. Some of her favorite moments were spent enjoying music & dancing; cutting up on the dance floor with her family and friends! Her deep faith in God and her dedication to helping others were unwavering.She passed away 05/30/2026 due to complications related to dementia; an ugly disease that she battled for the past 20 years.

We will miss her every day, and we will take comfort in knowing she is finally at peace and with the Lord.
