Ada Rodriguez was born in New York City and worked there for 40 years before retiring to Florida, where she enjoyed many years in the warm sunshine with friends and family. Ada passed peacefully in her sleep on Feb. 20 surrounded by her adult children. She had two daughters (Sandra, Rita), a son (Raymond), grandson (Louis), three granddaughters (Maria, Colleen, Charde), three great-grandsons (Joseph, Matthew, Dameion) and one great-granddaughter (Alexandria). A private family gathering will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Ada's honor to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
