Altagracia Rodriguez, age 76, went to be with her Lord on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Altagracia was preceded in death by her husband, Francisco Rodriguez Sr.; daughter, Ruth Olvera; and mother, Emilia Diaz. She will be remembered by her children Josue Rodriguez, Francisco Rodriguez Jr., Samuel Rodriguez, Damaris “Dama” Rodriguez, and Mayra Rodriguez; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Beloved matriarch, devoted mother, and unwavering champion of the vulnerable, Alta passed away, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of all who knew her. A Godly woman and warrior, Alta dedicated her life to caring for others, fiercely advocating for the sick, homeless, and families struggling with housing insecurity. Her selflessness and compassion inspired countless individuals, and her tireless efforts made a tangible difference in her community.
Within the church, Alta was a creative force, crafting captivating plays and costumes that brought people together and lifted spirits. While her husband, Francisco, embarked on missionary trips abroad, she single-handedly managed the household, raising six children with unwavering love, guidance, and support. Through harsh winters and challenging times, Alta persevered, ensuring her family's needs were met, often sacrificing her own comfort for their well-being. Her unwavering dedication to her husband's missionary work was instrumental in his success, and her sharp intuition allowed her to sense when her children needed guidance or protection.
Alta will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched. Her legacy of love, resilience, and generosity will continue to inspire generations to come. We take comfort in knowing she now rests in eternal peace, her love and spirit living on in our hearts.
