Juanita Chimelis Rodriguez, 97, of Boca Raton was welcomed into Our Lord’s Kingdom on November 26th. She was born on February 9th, 1925 in Santo Domingo, DR. She conquered many hardships and difficulties in her young life and arrived in New York City all on her own. She became a US citizen in 1950, relying on her deep Catholic faith and strong will and spirit to support herself. In 1956 she met Louis H. Rodriguez and was soon married, lovingly raising his 2 daughters, Jeanette and Geraldine. Later came Carol, John and Mary. Through the many years, Juanita persevered with unconditional support and a simple but unfailing faith in the goodness of people and the purity of love. She was the foundation of her family, tirelessly raising and helping her children and being a living example of love, selflessness and family. Her light will shine in our hearts forever!
Juanita is predeceased by her husband Louis H. Rodriguez, sister Anita Chimelis Smith, her daughter Jeanette Oberrieth and many brothers and sisters. She is survived by her daughter Carol Sydnor of Hollywood, her son John (Maureen) Rodriguez of Boca Raton, her daughter Mary Rodriguez of Boca Raton and grandchildren Lauren Sydnor, Thomas, Stephen, Patrick and Ryan Rodriguez, David Oberrieth and Scott Baluss. May she live forever in joy in heaven!
